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 2,381 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,455 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 30 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,101 feet above sea level to 36,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,870 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Mutters in Tirol, Austria. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead EDNJ Neuburg-Egweil Airfield in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,783 feet above sea level to 31,275 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,508 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Allersberg in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Schwaig in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,240 feet above sea level to 2,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,944 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 277.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 349 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 19 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,389 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 338 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,225 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 277.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was executed within the designated parameters, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated, with the touchdown distance being within the acceptable range at 349 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a potential for improved control during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.6 meters, which may have resulted from a slight deviation during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 19°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,389 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.7 meters, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes may have been applied unevenly or that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.5%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and the alignment of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
