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 1,837 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,837 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 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 07L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,642 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Schoenefeld, a town in Brandenburg, Germany. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,202 feet above sea level to 31,478 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,276 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 185 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Heiligenthal, a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started overhead Pluderhausen, a town in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 31,588 feet above sea level to 26,875 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,713 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Gomaringen, a town in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started overhead Bisingen, a town in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 26,092 feet above sea level to 4,169 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,923 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Wutoeschingen, a town in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The aircraft then began its third descent, which started 1 mile north west of Kaiserstuhl, a town in the Kanton Aargau, Switzerland. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,817 feet above sea level to 2,699 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,118 feet.
The final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 267 meters and a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was hard at -407 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 38°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,757 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline.

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 14 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) with a score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,138 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. However, the touchdown distance was good at 267 meters, which suggests that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -407 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 38°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,757 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot made a good approach and touchdown.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory, with a score of 95.4%.
