See Arrival 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: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,732 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 24 at EDJA Memmingen Allgau Airport. The takeoff distance was 548 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 131 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a 3-knot crosswind and a 20-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Memmingerberg in Bavaria, Germany. The climb took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,135 feet above sea level to 24,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,563 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile north-east of Rettenberg in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Zernez in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland, and took 13 minutes to descend from 24,140 feet above sea level to 7,448 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,692 feet. The descent covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at LSZS Samedan Airport was made from the south-west, heading 38.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,844 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 at LSZS Samedan Airport was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 116 knots. The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 104 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -7 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 284 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 1-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.4 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 104 nautical miles, and the flight took 38 minutes to complete, using 571 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.2%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, heading 38.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,844 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 03, which has a length of 1,732 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 115 kt, coming in at 116 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The touchdown point was located 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 104 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute was reported as good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -7°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from a direction of 284°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.4 meters from the centerline. This deviation from the centerline may have been due to a combination of factors, including the aircraft's speed and the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase of the landing.
