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 1,814 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,814 m of the 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 261 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 05R at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL). The takeoff distance was 1,087 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 45 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile west of Ratingen, Germany, and the aircraft ascended from 1,149 feet above sea level to 39,252 feet above sea level, a total increase of 38,103 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Helvesiek, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Kellenhusen, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 39,273 feet above sea level to 1,526 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 37,747 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at Malmö Sturup Airport (ESMS) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 353.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with the touchdown distance being 263 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -292 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 261 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was negligible. The total landing distance was 1,735 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 349 nautical miles, which was covered in 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,358 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 353.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the designated runway, which has a length of 2,789 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance characteristics. The touchdown distance of 263 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -292 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, 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 characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 261°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,735 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to various factors such as the aircraft's braking performance or the pilot's control inputs. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.1%.
