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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,962 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,962 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,659 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 151 knots after covering a takeoff distance of 5,945 feet, which was 60% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 93°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead College Park, Georgia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,999 feet above sea level to 38,073 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,074 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles south-east of Calera, Alabama, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 345 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 6 miles south-west of LZ93 Geronimo Lz Fort Johnson, Louisiana, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,018 feet above sea level to 5,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,080 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Atascocita, Texas, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of The Woodlands, Texas, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,492 feet above sea level to 3,585 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,907 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles north-east of Stagecoach, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-west of Stagecoach, Texas, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,155 feet above sea level to 3,686 feet above sea level, an increase of 530 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles east of 06TX Diamond N Ranch Airport Hockley, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south of T51 May Houston, Texas, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,095 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,798 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,198 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08L, which was 8,988 feet long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 287 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots and a touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 93°F temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 130°, with a crosswind
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,198 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08L, which has a length of 8,988 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, touching down at 123 knots. The touchdown point was located 287 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 23 feet off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 93°F, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,690 feet was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good handling and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
