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 1,840 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,840 m of the 3,497 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A380 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36L, with a takeoff distance of 1,390 meters, which is 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Halfweg, Netherlands, and reached an altitude of 38,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,786 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Peize, Netherlands, and lasted for 263 minutes, covering a distance of 2,189 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles north of Atbasar Airport in Kazakhstan, and descended from 38,867 feet to 6,207 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,660 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 9 miles northeast of Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 11 miles east of Nur-Sultan, and descended from 5,821 feet to 2,443 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,378 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport took place from the northeast, heading 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a runway length of 3,497 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 365 meters, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -8°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 196 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,759 meters, which is 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,421 nautical miles, taking a total of 320 minutes, and the aircraft used 48,782 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 successfully landed at UACC Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 142 knots, and the touchdown distance of 365 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -8°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 196°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,759 meters was 50% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated area. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as brake application or steering.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment. These can be addressed through further training and refinement of the aircraft's handling characteristics.
