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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,967 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,967 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m 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 Nuremberg Airport (EDDN). This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 10, and the takeoff distance was 1,351 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 78 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Nuremberg Airport and rising from an altitude of 2,139 feet above sea level to 18,611 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 30 nautical miles, took 8 minutes and resulted in an increase of 16,473 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of the town of Burk in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of the town of Freudental in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 18,624 feet above sea level to 1,700 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 03 at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB) was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 32.0 degrees. The approach was made at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level, and the aircraft landed on the runway after covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The landing was characterized by a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 139 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 299 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -229 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 321 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,892 meters, which is 76% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 140 nautical miles, and the flight took 42 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 2,127 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 03, which has a length of 2,483 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 299 meters was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, which may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down slightly before touching down. The touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a light wind of 2 kt from 321°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which made the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.
The total landing distance of 1,892 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop smoothly and safely after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop on the runway.
