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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,785 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,785 m of the 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside 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, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 23L at the KIND Indianapolis International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,805 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was also 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the KIND Indianapolis International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,772 feet above sea level to 37,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,496 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of the 7II3 Schroeder Private Airport Mount Vernon. This phase of the flight lasted 31 minutes and covered a distance of 698 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 13 miles west of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. The descent from 37,417 feet above sea level to 9,075 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,342 feet in 17 minutes, covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of the 1CO8 Everitt Airport Parker, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The descent from 9,109 feet above sea level to 6,671 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,438 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R at the KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35R at the KDEN Denver International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,670 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 342 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -605 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,709 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 946 nautical miles, taking 80 minutes and using 5,877 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 35R at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was satisfactory at 342 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the recommended speed, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate of -605 feet per minute (fpm). This is a concern, as a high touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,709 meters was within 47% of the runway length, which is a reasonable margin. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate.
