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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,159 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,159 m of the 4,090 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 718 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 34C at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport in 10 minutes, covering 3 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll on runway 34C, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,332 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and lifted off at 170 kt. Ambient conditions were 38 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 269°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
The first en-route climb began overhead OEJN, climbing from 994 ft asl to 6,024 ft asl - an increase of 5,030 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 9 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 10 nm north of OEJN and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 7 nm.
The second climb started 18 nm north of OEJN, gaining altitude from 6,014 ft asl to 12,856 ft asl - a rise of 6,842 ft - in 3 minutes and traversing 18 nm.
Subsequent cruise began 27 nm south of OERB Rabigh Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 22 nm.
A further climb was initiated 27 nm south-east of OERB, raising the aircraft from 13,012 ft asl to 36,742 ft asl - an increase of 23,730 ft - in 13 minutes while moving 104 nm.
The next level cruise segment started 44 nm south of OEPJ Pump Station 10, extending for 92 minutes and covering 723 nm.
Descent phase one began 11 nm north-west of OMLW Liwa Airport, descending from 37,121 ft asl to 6,420 ft asl - a loss of 30,701 ft - in 13 minutes and covering 86 nm.
A short cruise followed 9 nm south of OM11 Abu Dhabi Northeast Airport, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
Descent phase two started 13 nm south of OM11, dropping from 6,023 ft asl to 2,033 ft asl - a decrease of 3,990 ft - in 7 minutes and covering 22 nm.
The final cruise segment began 11 nm south-east of OMAA Zayed International Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nm.
On final approach to runway 31R at OMAA, the aircraft descended from 1,316 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 113 seconds, achieving the required stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 31R, which is 4,090 m long, the aircraft touched down at a threshold speed of 124 kt, with the touchdown point 305 m beyond the touchdown zone and a touchdown speed of 125 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 343 fpm and the touchdown position was offset 3.1 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 43 °C, wind 4 kt from 340°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 2,081 m, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as misaligned by 22.0 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.
Overall, the flight covered 1,015
The Airbus A321neo performed a stabilised approach to runway 31R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,316 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 113 seconds while maintaining the prescribed parameters, and the local weather was 43 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 340°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the speed was good at 124 kt and the aircraft crossed the threshold height correctly. Touchdown occurred 305 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 125 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -343 fpm (minus 343 fpm).
The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.1 m, and the aircraft required a total landing distance of 2,081 m, representing 51 % of the 4,090 m runway length.
During rollout the aircraft drifted further from the centreline, ending 22.0 m misaligned.
Minor refinements are advised: reduce touchdown speed slightly to better match VREF and aim to touch down nearer the designated zone to minimise post-touchdown drift, and maintain precise centreline tracking through flare to keep rollout alignment within tighter limits.
