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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 202 m 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,700 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 79°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Diegem in Flanders, Belgium. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,128 feet above sea level to 34,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,858 feet.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting overhead Duvy in Hauts-de-France, France. This cruise phase lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 483 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Cornago in La Rioja, Spain. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,553 feet above sea level to 31,543 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,010 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles east of Soria in Castilla y Leon, Spain. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles south of Almazan in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 30,349 feet above sea level to 3,629 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,720 feet.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 322.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,669 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32R, which has a length of 3,002 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 120 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -400 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 220°. There was a crosswind of 5 knots, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 672 meters, which is 22% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 753 nautical miles, and the flight took 141 minutes. The aircraft used 5,210 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,669 feet above ground level.
The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 120 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown rate was somewhat hard at -400 feet per minute, which may have been due to the pilots' decision to touch down slightly fast. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was a minimal 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 672 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilots demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. However, there were some minor areas for improvement, such as the slightly fast touchdown speed and the hard touchdown rate.
