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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 892 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 892 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 04 at the Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud, where the DR 400 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 373 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 347 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The enroute level cruise started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft flying overhead Le Versoud in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This initial cruise phase lasted less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Le Versoud and took the aircraft from an altitude of 980 feet above sea level to 2,254 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,274 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time flying overhead Bernin in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04L at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 56.0 degrees and at an altitude of 836 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 knots and a touchdown distance of 348 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 348 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 582 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 37.9 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 10 nautical miles and took 14 minutes to complete, using 4 kilograms of fuel.
The DR 400 01 aircraft successfully landed at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud, achieving a score of 88.7%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 56.0° at 2 nautical miles and 836 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 68 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 348 meters. The touchdown speed was 54 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 348°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
However, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 37.9 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the aircraft may have drifted off the centerline during the rollout phase, which could be a concern for safety. Despite this, the total landing distance was 582 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Overall, the landing was successful, but the misaligned runway rollout alignment is an area that requires attention to ensure the aircraft's safety and performance.
