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 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,299 ft 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 20 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 07L at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 4,373 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 74°F and no wind. The aircraft climbed to a height of 34,668 feet, an increase of 32,605 feet from the initial altitude of 2,063 feet, in just 15 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. This enroute climb started overhead Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 3 miles southwest of Lake of the Woods in Arizona. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 12 miles south of NM91 High Lonesome Airport Fence Lake in New Mexico. The descent from 34,987 feet to 5,413 feet took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This cruise phase started overhead Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico. The final approach to runway 03 at Albuquerque International Sunport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 46.0° at 4 nautical miles and 697 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,264 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and no wind.
The total landing distance was 4,173 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 295 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 5,864 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at the Albuquerque International Sunport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 46.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 697 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,264 feet. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly faster-than-ideal landing. The touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and no wind, which would have made the landing process easier.
The total landing distance of 4,173 feet was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned from the centreline by 52 feet, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-centre.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots' ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft safely to the runway was evident, despite these minor issues.
