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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 874 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 874 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 in the Embraer E190 started with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LSZH Zurich, taking 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 32 was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,117 m, representing 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the weather at the time of departure was favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and no significant wind.
The enroute climb began overhead Oberglatt in Switzerland, with the aircraft climbing from 721 m asl to 10,663 m asl, gaining an altitude of 9,941.5 m in 15 minutes and covering 83 nm. The level cruise portion of the flight commenced 1 mile southwest of Brissago and continued for 11 minutes, covering 92 nm.
The descent phase started 2 miles northeast of Soragna in Italy, with the aircraft descending from 10,609 m asl to 922 m asl in 16 minutes, covering 87 nm. Another brief level cruise segment began 1 mile north of Castelfiorentino and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nm.
The landing on runway 05 at LIRQ Firenze Peretola was successful, with a runway length of 874 m. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 130 knots, 263 m from the threshold, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -1.7 m/s. The total landing distance was 1,294 m, exceeding the length of the runway by 148%. The weather at the time of landing was pleasant, with a temperature of 20°C and calm wind conditions.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 279 nm, and the flight took 70 minutes in total. The aircraft consumed 1,816 kg of fuel during the journey.
Firstly, I want to commend the pilot for their excellent glideslope alignment during the Approach Phase, as this is crucial in preparing for a safe landing. It shows a high level of skill and attention to detail, which is commendable.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is great to see that the pilot maintained a good threshold height and executed a very good landing flare. These actions contribute significantly to a smooth touchdown and further demonstrate the pilot's proficiency in executing a successful landing.
However, there are some areas in the Touchdown Phase that could be improved upon. The hard touchdown rate suggests that the landing may have been a bit rough, which could potentially lead to discomfort for passengers and unnecessary wear and tear on the aircraft. Additionally, landing slightly above target speed may have contributed to this issue.
Furthermore, while the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, the runway touchdown position being 10.5 m from the centreline indicates a slight deviation from the ideal landing position. This could be addressed through additional training or practice to ensure more precise landings in the future.
In the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment is crucial for a safe and controlled landing. While being 10.0 m from the centreline is acceptable, striving for even closer alignment will enhance overall landing performance.
Overall, the pilot demonstrated skill and proficiency in many aspects of the landing process. By focusing on areas for improvement, such as touchdown rate, speed control, and runway alignment, the pilot can further enhance their landing performance and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in all phases of aircraft operations.
