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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,371 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 379 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight onboard the Airbus A321 from Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) to San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) was smooth and efficient. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in just 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The departure roll on runway 08R at CYVR was quick, with the aircraft taking off after covering 53% of the 1,736 m runway. The liftoff speed was 164 kn. The local weather at departure showed a temperature of 9 °C, with a 4 kn wind at 110 °, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and a 3 kn headwind.
The enroute climb started over Richmond, British Columbia, and took the aircraft from 1,021 ft asl to 33,998 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 149 nm. The level cruise then started over Pe Ell, Washington, lasting for 21 minutes and covering 194 nm. Another climb took place over Oakland, Oregon, increasing the altitude from 34,207 ft asl to 37,292 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering 41 nm. The subsequent level cruise lasted 25 minutes and covered 225 nm.
The enroute descent began 5 miles east of Hopland, California, bringing the aircraft from 37,421 ft asl to 1,829 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 90 nm. The landing on runway 28L at KSFO saw the aircraft touchdown 378 m from the threshold at a speed of 134 kn, with a VSI of -272 ft/m. The local weather at landing displayed a temperature of 17 °C, with calm winds.
The total landing distance was 1,430 m, which was 42% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a distance of 710 nm, taking 122 minutes and utilizing 4,834 kg of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 99.0%! This achievement is a testament to your exceptional skills and precision in maneuvering an aircraft during its descent and landing phases.
Let's delve deeper into the analysis of your landing performance to understand why you were able to achieve such a high score. In the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating that you were able to maintain the correct angle of descent towards the runway with great accuracy. This is crucial for a smooth and controlled landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you displayed good control over the threshold height, ensuring that the aircraft touched down at the right spot on the runway. Additionally, your execution of the landing flare was excellent, indicating that you correctly adjusted the pitch of the aircraft to establish a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your firm touchdown rate suggests that you were able to bring the aircraft down with confidence. Your speed was on target, enabling a safe and controlled landing. Furthermore, the fact that you landed within the touchdown zone and in a very good position on the runway speaks volumes about your proficiency in managing the aircraft during this critical phase.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, although there was a slight deviation in runway alignment from the centerline, with a distance of 4.3 meters, this can be further improved with practice and attention to detail.
Overall, your landing performance was commendable, with strengths in glideslope alignment, threshold height control, landing flare execution, touchdown rate, and touchdown position. Keep up the excellent work and continue to hone your skills to achieve even higher scores in future landings. Your dedication and precision are key to becoming a top-notch pilot. Well done!
