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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX), with a takeoff distance of 1,212 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of East Midlands Airport, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead Castle Donington in Leicestershire, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 393 meters above sea level to 1,826 meters, an increase of 1,433.1 meters, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of Brailsford in Derbyshire, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time starting 1 mile south east of Kniveton in Derbyshire, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,830 meters to 7,312 meters, an increase of 5,482.6 meters, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north west of Huyton in Knowsley, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 19 miles north of Llandudno in Conwy, Wales. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,314 meters to 728 meters, a decrease of 6,585.6 meters, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles north east of Howth in Leinster, Ireland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), approaching from the east and heading 267.0 degrees at an altitude of 448.4 meters above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 138 meters above ground level. The aircraft then landed safely on runway 28R, with a touchdown distance of 354 meters and a touchdown speed of 125 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather at the time of landing was 10 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 971 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 201 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 66 minutes. The aircraft used 2,534 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 93.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 448.4 meters above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 354 meters was also within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still considered good. The touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing.
Despite the good landing performance, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the aircraft. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. These misalignments 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 10°C. This temperature was likely to have had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance, as the A320 is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures.
The total landing distance of 971 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. Overall, the landing was considered good, with some minor issues with alignment.
