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 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A320 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDH Hamburg. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 994 meters, covering 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots. Local weather at the time of departure indicated a temperature of 15°C with a 10-knot wind coming from 210°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, climbing from 1,076 feet above sea level to 33,064 feet, an increase of 31,989 feet over 21 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles west of Bad Sooden-Allendorf and lasted 7 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started overhead Bad Bruckenau, descending from 32,991 feet above sea level to 3,267 feet, a decrease of 29,724 feet over 20 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart, which has a runway length of 3,037 meters. The height at the threshold was 40 feet above ground level, with a speed at the threshold of 132 knots. The touchdown occurred 265 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -546 feet per minute. Local weather conditions during landing showed a temperature of 17°C with a 1-knot wind coming from 270°, resulting in no crosswind and a 1-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,032 meters, equivalent to 34% of the runway length. Taxiing from the runway back to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 309 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 137 minutes and fuel consumption of 2,816 kilograms.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 92.2%! This is an excellent result and showcases your skills as a pilot. Let's delve deeper into the different phases of the landing to analyze the areas of strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it is commendable that you had excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates a good control of the aircraft's descent path towards the runway. Maintaining precision during the approach is crucial for a successful landing and it is clear that you performed well in this aspect.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your good threshold height shows that you were at the correct altitude when crossing the runway threshold. This is important for a smooth touchdown and efficient landing. However, there is room for improvement in the landing flare. A poor landing flare can result in a hard touchdown, which may not be ideal for the comfort of passengers or the longevity of the aircraft's landing gear. Focusing on improving the landing flare technique can lead to even better landings in the future.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is noted that the touchdown rate was on the heavy side. While it's positive that your touchdown speed was on target, a heavy touchdown can put unnecessary stress on the aircraft structure. Striving for a softer touchdown can enhance the overall landing experience. On a positive note, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a good indication of your ability to accurately place the aircraft on the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 3.2 meters from the centerline shows that you were able to maintain good alignment with the runway during touchdown.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it is important to note that the runway alignment was slightly off, with a deviation of 11.7 meters from the centerline. Maintaining precise runway alignment during the rollout phase is crucial for safe taxiing and clearing the runway efficiently. Paying attention to this aspect can further enhance your overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing score of 92.2% reflects a strong proficiency in various aspects of the landing process. By focusing on improving the landing flare technique, aiming for a softer touchdown, and maintaining precise alignment during rollout, you can continue to enhance your skills and achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue honing your skills as a pilot.
