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.

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 1,646 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,646 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft taking off after covering 62% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,937 meters, and the liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Saint-Jean-d'Illac in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,160 feet above sea level to 37,518 feet, an increase of 36,358 feet. The aircraft covered 107 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of Nesmy in Pays de la Loire, France, and lasted for 49 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered 362 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 7 miles north west of Goodwick in Pembrokeshire, Wales, descending from 37,977 feet to 6,998 feet in 18 minutes, covering 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile east of Milltown in Leinster, Ireland, and lasting only 2 minutes. The aircraft covered 5 nautical miles during this brief phase. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile west of Allenwood Cross Roads in Leinster, Ireland, descending from 6,993 feet to 1,505 feet in 8 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 95.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 3,110 meters long. The touchdown point was 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 14.2 meters. The total landing distance was 1,563 meters, which was 50% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 13.6 meters. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 594 nautical miles, and the flight took 105 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,510 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 92.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 117 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centerline. This deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by the same factors.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C. The total landing distance of 1,563 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown position.
