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 rest of the report
The flight in question departed from ENKR Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxied for approximately 4 minutes from the parking area to runway 23, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 10 °C, with wind speeds of 2 kt at 10°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft lifted off the runway, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 146 kt, using 64% of the 1,034-meter runway. The climb from the airport was initiated approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, and the aircraft rose from an elevation of 1,183 ft to 36,504 ft, an increase of 35,321 ft in 19 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered 125 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a leveled cruise phase 2 miles east of EFPA Pokka Airfield in Lapland, Finland. This phase lasted 68 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 451 nautical miles. Further east, the aircraft began its descent 6 miles south of Kloevsjoe in Sweden, reducing its elevation from 37,272 ft to 11,121 ft in 22 minutes, while covering 123 nautical miles.
A short leveled cruise phase ensued, starting overhead Valer in Norway, lasting 5 minutes, and covering 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final descent phase, starting 4 miles southwest of Kirkenaer in Norway. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 10,651 ft to 1,958 ft in just 8 minutes, while covering 26 nautical miles.
The final approach was executed from the north, heading 196.0° at 4 nm, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 19L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, a 2,944-meter runway. The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 128 kt was slightly faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -250 fpm was fair.
The overall landing distance was 1,141 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating 11.9 meters from the centerline. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight duration was 131 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 751 nautical miles, using approximately 4,171 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a commendable score of 94.7%. The final approach was executed from the north, aligning with a heading of 196.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft proceeded to land on runway 19L, a 2,944-meter-long surface. The threshold height was reported to be good, indicating a satisfactory distance between the aircraft's wheels and the runway threshold at touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was measured at 128 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 131 kt. This minor discrepancy may have resulted in a somewhat higher touchdown rate of -250 fpm, although this still falls within a fair range. The touchdown point was located 73 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
One area for improvement was the alignment of the runway touchdown position, which deviated slightly from the centerline by 12.3 meters. Additionally, during the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was off by 11.9 meters. These minor misalignments suggest that the crew may need to re-evaluate their approach and landing procedures to achieve a more precise touch down.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C, indicating no significant external factors affecting the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,141 meters accounted for 39% of the available runway length, a relatively moderate figure considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, despite some minor areas for improvement, the Airbus A320 crew has demonstrated a satisfactory proficiency in performing a smooth and controlled landing at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.
