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 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 463 m touchdown sits inside 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 at LEZL Sevilla Airport, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 49% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,656 meters, and the liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead LEZL Sevilla Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,099 feet above sea level to 32,224 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,124 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Penalsordo, Spain, and lasted for 92 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 667 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Querqueville, France, and descending from 31,218 feet above sea level to 12,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,451 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Bembridge, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 2 miles east of Birdham, England, and descending from 12,684 feet above sea level to 3,798 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,886 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Bolney, England, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed once more, starting 1 mile south east of Newick, England, and descending from 3,799 feet above sea level to 1,901 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,898 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase took place overhead Edenbridge, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, heading 258.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 213 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,479 meters, which was 59% of the runway's length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 897 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used 6,096 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 176 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 213°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance of 1,479 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A320 on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 97.7% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently in a variety of weather conditions.
