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 874 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 874 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 to the runway at London Gatwick Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 1,152 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Gatwick Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,243 feet above sea level to 5,663 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,420 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Penshurst, Kent, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb, this time from 5,665 feet above sea level to 37,945 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,280 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Hamelincourt, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 37,521 feet above sea level to 1,491 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,030 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, was from the south west, with a heading of 47.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 970 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 05, with a runway length of 874 meters. The threshold height was slightly above target, but the threshold speed was good at 124 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 344 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 5°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 300°.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,027 meters, which was 118% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 654 nautical miles, taking 131 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,288 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, with a score of 86.4%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, heading 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 344 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a good landing performance. However, the touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard impact upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance of the aircraft.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported to be perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing performance of the Airbus A319 was satisfactory, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and rate. However, the aircraft's ability to maintain perfect runway alignment throughout the landing and rollout phases was a notable achievement.
