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 9,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,749 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Memphis International Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18R, with the takeoff distance covering 54% of the runway's length at 5,010 feet. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the flight progressed, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of Southaven, Mississippi, where the aircraft ascended from 1,362 feet above sea level to 36,136 feet, an increase of 34,774 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles southeast of AR55 R.V. Stewart Field North Little Rock, Arkansas, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering 171 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 5 miles southwest of David G Joyce Winnfield Airport in Louisiana, descending from 35,540 feet to 10,422 feet in 22 minutes, covering 133 nautical miles.
The flight continued with another enroute level cruise, this time starting 12 miles southeast of XS72 F R Duke Farm Airport in Romayor, Texas, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles north of Hull, Texas, where the aircraft descended from 9,994 feet to 1,496 feet in 8 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Gum Island Airport in Dayton, Texas, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The flight then proceeded to the final approach to runway 27 at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 270.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the airport and 1,185 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 27, which had a length of 9,971 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 355 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a perfect touchdown rate of -17 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 69 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 3,538 feet, covering 35% of the runway's length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 57 feet from the centerline. The flight then concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 459 nautical miles, taking 96 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,734 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,185 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 355 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots. This speed is also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -17 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 69°F. The total landing distance of 3,538 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 57 feet from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal path. Despite this, the landing was still considered successful, given the high score achieved.
