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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,997 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 61 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,315 feet above sea level to 24,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,692 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Le Baizil in the Grand Est region of France. This phase lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Braine-le-Comte in the Wallonia region of Belgium. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 23,929 feet above sea level to 1,945 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,985 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Vorstenbosch in the Provincie Noord-Brabant region of the Netherlands. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Nijnsel in the Provincie Noord-Brabant region of the Netherlands. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 1,949 feet above sea level to 1,350 feet above sea level, a decrease of 599 feet.
The final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which has a length of 2,512 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 152 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 441 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -291 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,138 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 14 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 260 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 3,445 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Eindhoven Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 21, which has a length of 2,512 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt. The touchdown distance of 441 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 145 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, but could be improved upon.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.5 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 15 kt from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 15 kt, which would have assisted the aircraft's descent.
The total landing distance of 1,138 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.4 meters, which may have been due to the same factors contributing to the initial touchdown position error. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
