Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 907 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Scholes International At Galveston Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 2,892 feet, which was 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the airport, rising from 928 feet above sea level to 38,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,079 feet in 24 minutes, covering 136 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Bastrop, Texas, and lasted 57 minutes, covering 381 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 24 miles west of Tatum, New Mexico, descending from 38,021 feet above sea level to 8,541 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,480 feet in 33 minutes, covering 144 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north east of Estancia Municipal Airport and lasted 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb 1 mile south west of Indian Hills, climbing from 7,412 feet above sea level to 8,450 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,039 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Ponderosa Pine and lasted 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles west of Cedro, descending from 8,500 feet above sea level to 8,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 494 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south east of Albuquerque International Sunport and lasted 7 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent 3 miles west of Isleta Village Proper, descending from 7,947 feet above sea level to 7,207 feet above sea level, a decrease of 740 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of South Valley and lasted 16 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 03 at Albuquerque International Sunport was from the south west, heading 45.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,221 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 916 feet, a touchdown speed of 128 knots, and a touchdown rate of -309 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 3,497 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 101 feet from the centreline. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 717 nautical miles, taking 165 minutes, and the aircraft used 13,596 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at the Albuquerque International Sunport, achieving an overall score of 86.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,221 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 130 knots, registering at 128 knots. This was still considered a good touchdown speed, as it allowed for a controlled descent and minimized the risk of overrunning the runway. The touchdown distance of 916 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 61°F, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,497 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and landing effectively, minimizing the use of runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 101 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout or a failure to properly align the aircraft with the runway centreline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within acceptable limits. However, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of runway alignment and rollout.
