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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,591 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,591 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDW Bremen Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, and the takeoff distance was 1,145 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Stuhr in Lower Saxony, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 37,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,066 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Enkhuizen in the Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 18 miles southeast of Orford in Suffolk, England, where the aircraft descended from 37,126 feet above sea level to 1,612 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,514 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 146.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 15, which had a length of 2,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 376 meters, but the touchdown speed at 132 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -323 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,508 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 409 nautical miles, taking 87 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,905 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 15, which has a length of 2,317 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -323 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.9 meters, 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 14°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 190°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 7 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,508 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilots' skills and experience were likely key factors in the successful outcome, as well as the aircraft's design and performance capabilities.
