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 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,377 ft touchdown sits inside 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 approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 6,800 feet of the runway, which is equivalent to 78% of its length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KCLT, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southeast of the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,642 feet above sea level to 33,625 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,983 feet, over a distance of 167 nautical miles in 24 minutes. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles south of Ridgeland, South Carolina, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south of Flagler Beach, Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,704 feet above sea level to 14,981 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,723 feet, over a distance of 156 nautical miles in 20 minutes. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles northwest of the 82FL BR Ranch Airport in Jupiter, Florida, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles west of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 15,010 feet above sea level to 3,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,003 feet, over a distance of 28 nautical miles in 9 minutes. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Boca Raton, Florida, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 4 miles northwest of Doral, Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,998 feet above sea level to 1,240 feet above sea level, a decrease of 758 feet, over a distance of 4 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at Miami International Airport (KMIA), flying from the northwest at a heading of 120.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 12 at KMIA, which is 8,405 feet long. The touchdown speed was recorded at 132 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,384 feet, which is 38% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 581 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,134 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 120.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 8,405 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,384 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly lower than the expected speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down with a reasonable rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F. The total landing distance of 3,163 feet was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 54 feet from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off the centerline during the rollout phase. Despite this, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 94.1%.
