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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,726 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,726 m of the 2,553 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,798 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 186 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,288 feet above sea level to 34,997 feet, an increase of 33,709 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 10 minutes and covered a distance of 282 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 1 mile south of Villepot in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The aircraft then underwent several more climbs and level cruise phases, each with varying durations and distances covered.
The first level cruise phase lasted 20 minutes and covered 555 nautical miles, starting at a latitude of 46.381926 and a longitude of -9.11014. The second level cruise phase lasted 47 minutes and covered 1,380 nautical miles, starting at a latitude of 40.6196267 and a longitude of -20.6796197. The third level cruise phase lasted 34 minutes and covered 1,006 nautical miles, starting at a latitude of 27.7593295 and a longitude of -45.4223624.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 113 miles northeast of Anse-Bertrand in Guadeloupe. The descent took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,000 feet above sea level to 1,379 feet, a decrease of 38,621 feet. The final approach to runway 12 at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 101.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,350 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 193 meters and a touchdown speed of 135 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,644 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,653 nautical miles, taking 159 minutes, and the aircraft used 51,104 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 101.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,350 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 12, which has a length of 2,553 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 193 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute (fpm). This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall comfort of the passengers. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,644 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
