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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,687 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,687 ft of the 7,158 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,754 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 34L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 7,709 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northwest of KDEN Denver International Airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,364 feet above sea level to 36,069 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,704 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Dotsero, Colorado. This phase lasted for 75 minutes and covered a distance of 552 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles east of KMMH Mammoth Yosemite Airport in Mammoth Lakes, California. The initial descent took 2 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,193 feet above sea level to 34,521 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,672 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of KMMH Mammoth Yosemite Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 14 miles south of Mammoth Lakes. This descent took 27 minutes and covered 133 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,256 feet above sea level to 1,241 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,014 feet.
The final approach to runway 30L at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 318.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,189 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30L, which had a length of 7,158 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 413 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,446 feet, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 828 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes. The aircraft used 10,916 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 318.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,189 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 30L, which has a length of 7,158 feet. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 144 kt, but this did not significantly impact the landing. The touchdown point was 413 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 320°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 5,446 feet, which is 76% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed a smooth landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases. However, there are some minor areas for improvement, such as adjusting the alignment during future approaches and maintaining a more optimal touchdown speed.
