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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,825 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 4,084 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead College Park, Georgia, and ascended from 1,969 feet above sea level to 20,848 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,879 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north east of the Barrow County Airport in Winder, Georgia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile north of Franklin Springs, Georgia, and descended from 21,001 feet above sea level to 4,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,716 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 73 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of Boiling Springs, South Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 2 miles east of Inman, South Carolina, and the aircraft descended from 4,051 feet above sea level to 2,216 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,835 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 212.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown point 441 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 56 feet from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 166 nautical miles, and the flight took 51 minutes. The aircraft used 3,637 pounds of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and 76 degrees Fahrenheit at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) on runway 22, achieving a score of 91.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown point was 441 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The aircraft's descent rate at touchdown was -46 feet per minute, which was perfect, indicating a controlled and stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 76°F. The runway length of 10,998 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely. However, the threshold height at 63 feet agl was above the target, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments to the approach.
One area for improvement was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 56 feet from the centerline. This deviation may have been due to the pilots' focus on maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing roll, rather than strictly adhering to the centerline. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilots was satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
The total landing distance of 3,553 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled approach, and the aircraft responded well to their inputs. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilots' skill and experience, and it demonstrates the capabilities of the Airbus A320 in a variety of operating conditions.
