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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,509 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,509 ft of the 11,977 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,180 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, and the takeoff distance was 6,682 feet, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 308°. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport and involved a significant increase in altitude from 5,448 feet above sea level to 37,354 feet above sea level, a total increase of 31,906 feet. This climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached cruising altitude, it began its level cruise 5 miles west of 32BU DOCILF Buffalo Valley in Nevada. This phase of the flight lasted 56 minutes and covered a distance of 453 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Craig in Colorado and involved a decrease in altitude from 37,071 feet above sea level to 6,605 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 30,466 feet. This descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at KDEN Denver International Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 took place on a runway with a length of 11,977 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target at 141 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 1,183 feet. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 17 knots at 282°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The total landing distance was 5,248 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 721 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used 9,293 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 25, which has a length of 11,977 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 141 knots. This may have been due to the pilots' decision to prioritize a safe touchdown over a precise speed target.
The touchdown distance of 1,183 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and smooth.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 23 feet, which may have been due to the crosswind or the pilots' decision to adjust their approach to compensate for the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of the landing was characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from 282°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which would have helped to slow the aircraft down during the approach. The total landing distance of 5,248 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft and made a smooth transition from the landing phase to the taxi phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and decision-making skills in the face of challenging wind conditions.
