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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 17R, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 °C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 170°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 1,580 feet above sea level to 36,937 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of Atoka Municipal Airport and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,991 feet above sea level to 6,264 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 2 miles southwest of Rossi's Farm Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile southeast of Lockport, Illinois, and resulted in a touchdown on runway 04R at Chicago Midway International Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 133 knots and a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the recommended value. The touchdown distance was 316 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 923 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 716 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 4,025 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 57 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 kt, well within the acceptable range. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady descent from 1,348 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway, aligning with the runway heading of 43.0°. The touchdown distance of 316 m was within the expected parameters, indicating a controlled and stable approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 130 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -285 fpm, which was fair but not ideal. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a 6 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the centreline, demonstrating a high degree of control and stability. The total landing distance of 923 m, accounting for 57% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control.
