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 2,380 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 120°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of KCLT. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,803 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,788 feet, an increase of 34,984 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile north of Bamberg, South Carolina, and lasted for 43 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 328 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 11 miles northeast of Orchid, Florida, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,761 feet to 5,084 feet, a decrease of 31,678 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Roosevelt Gardens, Florida, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 4 miles northeast of Weston, Florida, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,575 feet to 4,026 feet, a decrease of 549 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time 3 miles northwest of Weston, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead the Baptist Emergency Center Clay Heliport in Orange Park, Florida, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,035 feet to 1,297 feet, a decrease of 2,738 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), approaching from the west at a heading of 90.0° and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 10L, which had a length of 2,380 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -354 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,393 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 581 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 107 minutes, during which the aircraft used 4,697 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 10L, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the landing was executed on the designated runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,393 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Despite the satisfactory landing, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline. These deviations were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A321 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport.
