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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 21 at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,513 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 199 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Pont-Saint-Martin in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The climb took 18 minutes and covered 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,062 feet above sea level to 34,560 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Bussiere-Boffy in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This cruise phase lasted for 111 minutes and covered 901 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,789 feet to 36,539 feet, over the Ionian Islands in Greece. This climb took only 2 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Giannades in the Ionian Islands, Greece. This cruise phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered 365 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 14 miles west of Kefalos in the South Aegean region of Greece. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 76 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,373 feet to 1,361 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 336 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,366 meters, which accounted for 41% 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 1,480 nautical miles, which was covered in 209 minutes. The aircraft used 7,946 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LGRP Diagoras Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -357 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft's landing gear may have been subjected to excessive stress. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 6.9 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 25°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. The total landing distance of 1,366 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.1%. However, the slightly above-target threshold speed and firm touchdown rate may be areas for improvement in future landings.
