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 1,826 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 291 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 41% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,248 meters, and the liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Hapeville, Georgia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,027 feet above sea level to 36,857 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,830 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Valley Falls, South Carolina, and lasted for 60 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 519 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Evers Seaplane Base in New York, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,673 feet above sea level to 1,428 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,244 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Albany International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 268.0° at an altitude of 1,141 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 28, which was 1,826 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 292 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -439 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 792 meters, which was 43% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 787 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 120 minutes. The aircraft used 4,351 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at KALB Albany International Airport, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,141 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 131 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 292 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -439 feet per minute was deemed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 17 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 792 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was considered successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment. The pilots may need to review their approach and landing techniques to minimize the risk of errors and ensure a smoother, more controlled landing.
