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 1,544 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,544 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 807 m past the threshold — beyond 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 LSZH Zürich Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 1,334 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 2,394 feet above sea level to 34,561 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,167 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Rumlang in the Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 48 minutes and covered a distance of 366 nautical miles. This phase began 4 miles northwest of Tux in Tirol, Austria.
The enroute descent phase started 10 miles west of Foca in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and lasted for 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,969 feet above sea level to 3,215 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,754 feet. The descent covered a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 17 at BKPR Priština Adem Jashari International Airport, approaching from the north at a heading of 176.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,422 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with the touchdown point being 393 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 621 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 4,146 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Priština Adem Jashari International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,422 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold speed of 141 knots, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 393 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the aircraft landing beyond the designated zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is minimal and unlikely to have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance of 1,466 meters was 59% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop.
However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in a slightly longer stopping distance. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, and the crew's skills and experience likely played a significant role in ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown.
