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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside 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 Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 30R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 14 knots at 320°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Minneapolis, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,158 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The climb started overhead the Minneapolis airport and continued until the aircraft reached its initial cruise altitude. The enroute level cruise then began approximately 1 mile north-west of the Morris Municipal Airport Charlie Schmidt Field, lasting for 25 minutes and covering a distance of 464 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 35,619 feet to 37,411 feet, an increase of 1,792 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. This climb started 2 miles north-west of Glasgow, Montana. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, which began 4 miles west of the Hinsdale Airport, lasting for 22 minutes and covering a distance of 526 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,522 feet to 3,383 feet, a decrease of 34,139 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, which lasted for just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles west of Arbutus Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,760 feet to 1,311 feet, a decrease of 1,449 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 100.0° at an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 132 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 389 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 80°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,299 meters, 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,264 nautical miles, taking 93 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 8,105 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 389 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm). A slightly faster touchdown speed can sometimes result in a higher touchdown rate, but in this case, it was still within manageable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this deviation was minor and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,299 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's weight and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained excellent control and precision during the landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing performance was impressive, with a score of 99.0%. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach and landing, and the aircraft's systems performed well under the given weather conditions.
