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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,618 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,934 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 15L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots after covering 7,436 feet of the runway, which accounted for 62% of its length.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 91°F temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 215°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of Aldine, Texas, and rising from an altitude of 1,116 feet above sea level to 35,127 feet, an increase of 34,011 feet in just 21 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 11 miles east of Center, Texas, and lasted for 33 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 263 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent, beginning 2 miles west of MS76 Wade Field Calhoun City, Mississippi, and descending from 35,106 feet to 21,368 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 2 miles northeast of Amory, Mississippi, and lasted for 19 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 5 miles southwest of Trenton, Georgia, and descending from 21,124 feet to 13,212 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began once more, this time starting 1 mile southeast of East Brainerd, Tennessee, and lasting for just 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent, beginning 2 miles south of Charleston, Tennessee, and descending from 13,044 feet to 2,403 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05R at McGhee Tyson Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 44.0° and flying at an altitude of 1,451 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 8,618 feet, and a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 571 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 91°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 330°.
The total landing distance was 4,517 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking just 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 686 nautical miles, taking 105 minutes and using 11,362 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) with a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,451 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 05R, which has a length of 8,618 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 138 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, occurring 571 feet down the runway. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 18 feet. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 91°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,517 feet was 52% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating good control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
