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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,128 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A359, then departed from runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) and took off with a takeoff distance of 4,579 feet, which was 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 177 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south west of Castle Donington, Leicestershire, England. The climb took 17 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 28,852 feet in altitude, from 1,115 feet above sea level to 29,967 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Crowthorne, Bracknell Forest, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting 1 mile south east of Chilworth, Surrey, England. The climb took 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 2,809 feet in altitude, from 30,198 feet above sea level to 33,008 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 7 miles south of Eastbourne, East Sussex, England. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting overhead Veulettes-sur-Mer, Normandie, France. The descent took 7 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 27,720 feet in altitude, from 32,970 feet above sea level to 5,250 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Hennezis, Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase, starting 1 mile west of Saint-Lambert, Ile-de-France, France. The descent took 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 1,987 feet in altitude, from 5,002 feet above sea level to 3,015 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north west of Fontenay-le-Vicomte, Ile-de-France, France. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase, starting 1 mile north of Flogny-la-Chapelle, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The descent took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 1,095 feet in altitude, from 2,215 feet above sea level to 1,119 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Percey, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to landing, starting 1 mile north of Neuvy-Sautour, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The final approach took place from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at 85 feet above ground level.
As the aircraft approached touchdown, it began its descent from 50 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 50 feet in 4 seconds. The touchdown speed was
The Airbus A359 aircraft successfully landed at a location 1 mile north of Neuvy-Sautour in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France. The final approach to landing was initiated from an altitude of 85 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the landing site. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 50 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a span of 4 seconds, resulting in a significant decrease of 50 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 156 knots, which was slightly above the optimal speed for a smooth landing. The touchdown rate was also found to be quite heavy, with a rate of -710 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown distance of 1,128 feet was considered satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, covering a distance of 4,386 feet. At this point, the aircraft's altitude was 459 feet above sea level (asl). The landing rollout was completed at a location 1 mile north of Neuvy-Sautour in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a good touchdown distance and a satisfactory rollout performance, despite some minor issues with speed and touchdown rate.
