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.

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 1,628 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,628 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft, departing from Zürich Airport (LSZH) and landing at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft began its departure roll on runway 28, it achieved a takeoff distance of 1,447 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 146 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
Following takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Hofstetten in the Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. The climb phase involved an ascent from 2,506 feet above sea level to 19,767 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,261 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Oberuzwil in the Kanton St. Gallen, Switzerland, and lasted for 26 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Freudenberg in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent phase involved a decrease from 19,638 feet above sea level to 12,108 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,530 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 1 mile south of Waechtersbach in Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, starting overhead Florstadt in Hessen, Germany. The descent phase involved a decrease from 12,107 feet above sea level to 5,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,577 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 3 miles northeast of Wiesbaden in Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Wackernheim in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent phase involved a decrease from 4,764 feet above sea level to 1,702 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,062 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07L was characterized by a touchdown point 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 28°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,553 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 264 nautical miles, taking approximately 63 minutes, and the aircraft used
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07L, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, but there were some areas for improvement.
One of the notable issues during the landing was the threshold speed, which was too high at 145 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, potentially leading to a faster touchdown speed. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was indeed fast, and the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly harder landing than desired.
In terms of runway alignment, the touchdown point was 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly off-center during the landing, but the deviation was not significant.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 28°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,553 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have taken some time to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment.
