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 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, with a takeoff distance of 760 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 6 kt at 230°. The crosswind was 6 kt, while the tailwind was 1 kt. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the first climb starting 1 mile north-west of Fuhlsbuettel, Germany. The aircraft climbed from 1,105 feet above sea level (asl) to 36,810 ft asl, an increase of 35,705 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nm.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Willebadessen, Germany, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 234 nm. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,342 ft asl to 36,087 ft asl, a decrease of 1,256 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. This was followed by a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft climbing from 35,498 ft asl to 36,979 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the south-west, with a heading of 45.0° at 4 nm and 1,223 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters and a touchdown speed of 115 kt. The touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 12 kt at 30°. The crosswind was 3 kt, while the headwind was 12 kt. The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 646 nm, with a total flight time of 112 minutes. The aircraft used 5,227 kg of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 117 knots, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 429 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively.
However, there was a slight deviation in the touchdown speed, which was recorded at 115 knots, slightly above the recommended speed. This may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered fair. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,330 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and landing phases.
