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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 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 Airbus A320 aircraft, departing from Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) and heading to Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC). The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm).
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 25C, covering a takeoff distance of 1,357 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 165 knots (kn), and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 1 kn at 269°, with a crosswind of 0 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,396 feet above sea level (asl) to a maximum altitude of 32,972 ft asl, an increase of 31,576 ft in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile northwest of Lauterbach/Schwarzwald, Germany, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nm. The aircraft then entered a series of enroute level cruise phases, each lasting 4 minutes and covering varying distances, before beginning its descent phase.
The descent phase started overhead Meggen, Switzerland, and saw the aircraft descend from 33,013 ft asl to 6,016 ft asl, a decrease of 26,997 ft in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nm. The aircraft then entered another series of enroute level cruise phases, each lasting 4 minutes and covering varying distances, before beginning its final descent phase.
The final approach to runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at 4 nm and 1,261 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 35L, which had a length of 3,509 meters. The threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 kn.
The touchdown distance was good at 338 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 kn. The touchdown rate was very hard at -521 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 kn at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 0 kn.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 335 nm, and the flight duration was 52 minutes, with the aircraft using 2,693 kg of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to the runway was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 338 meters was within the acceptable range. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not significantly impact the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and no headwind. The aircraft's touchdown rate was very hard, at -521 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and deceleration during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the runway rollout alignment. These issues did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft, and the score of 93.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
