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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,304 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 539 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at OPKC Jinnah International Airport, a movement that required 19 minutes and covered 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,386 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 210°, providing a 12 kt headwind and a 12 kt cross-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile north of OPSF Faisal Air Base, with the flight ascending from 1,060 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl-a gain of 34,949 ft-over 24 minutes while covering 165 nm.
The first cruise segment began 15 nm west of OPOR Ormara Airport and persisted for 50 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 388 nm at level flight.
Descent started 24 nm south-west of FM04 Gulf of Oman, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 36,028 ft asl to 12,194 ft asl, a loss of 23,835 ft, in 11 minutes while covering 82 nm.
A brief cruise followed 15 nm south-west of OMFJ Fujairah International Airport, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
The next descent began 13 nm south of OMAO Adh Dhayd Airport, with altitude decreasing from 12,008 ft asl to 3,622 ft asl-a drop of 8,386 ft-over 13 minutes and a distance of 54 nm.
A short cruise segment originated 15 nm north-east of OMDE Dubai Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 18 nm.
Descent over OMSH Sharjah Airport reduced altitude from 2,537 ft asl to 1,269 ft asl, a loss of 1,269 ft, in 2 minutes while travelling 4 nm.
On final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,288 ft agl to 78 ft agl in 103 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 30L, which measures 4,304 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 120 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 242 fpm and a lateral deviation of 25.5 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 40 °C, wind 11 kt from 318°, a 3 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,158 m, equivalent to 27 % of the runway, and the rollout was later noted as being misaligned by 24.1 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, traversing a distance of 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 733 nm, required 124 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 398 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321ceo conducted its final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport with a stabilised profile at the 1,000 ft gate; gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits and the descent from 1,288 ft AGL to 78 ft AGL was completed in 103 seconds, earning full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was recorded as 140 kt, while the aircraft crossed the touchdown zone 120 m beyond its start; touchdown speed was 134 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 242 fpm.
Touchdown occurred with the wheel track significantly misaligned by 25.5 m from the runway centreline and the total landing distance measured 1,158 m, representing 27 % of the available runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned by 24.1 m from the centreline; ambient conditions were temperature 40 °C, wind 11 kt from 318°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind.
Improving centreline tracking on final approach and at touchdown will reduce the lateral deviation observed, and adjusting the approach speed closer to the 140 kt target will help achieve a more optimal touchdown point and rate.
