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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 28R at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,424 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15°C and winds of 6 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile west of KFLL, where the aircraft climbed from 1,063 feet above sea level to 34,503 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,440 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 40 miles northwest of MYAW Walkers Cay Airport and lasted 43 minutes, covering a distance of 654 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles southeast of MD82 Ragged Island Airport, where it descended from 35,013 feet above sea level to 214 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,799 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 178 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the southeast, heading 303.0° at 0 nautical miles and 195 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 458 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -168 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at KLGA were a temperature of -1°C and winds of 24 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 24 knots. The total landing distance was 992 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 990 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 6,689 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 31 with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 303.0° at an altitude of 195 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,131 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent. The touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 24 knots from 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 24 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during landing.
The total landing distance of 992 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.5%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
