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 2,225 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,225 m of the 3,048 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 811 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated on an Airbus A321-253NX aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 33L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Massachusetts, United States.
The takeoff distance was 1,188 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 179 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over Chelsea, Massachusetts, and began its ascent from 992 feet above sea level to 30,960 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,968 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 37 miles north of the EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69 in Massachusetts, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 30,986 feet above sea level to 31,465 feet above sea level, an increase of 479 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 59 miles south-east of the 35ME Matinicus Island Airport in Maine, and lasted for 213 minutes, covering 1,687 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, this time from 32,171 feet above sea level to 35,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,804 feet in just 5 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started at a location with coordinates Latitude: 54.0853119 and Longitude: -27.1159592, and lasted for 87 minutes, covering 537 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 61 miles west of the EIIB Clifden Airport in Connaught, Ireland. The descent from 35,987 feet above sea level to 1,368 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,619 feet in just 24 minutes, covered a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Shannon Airport (EINN) in Ireland was made from the south-west, with a heading of 52.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06, which had a length of 3,048 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 391 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -379 feet per minute, which was firm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 2,140 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.4 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,525 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 358 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,738 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an A321-253NX, successfully landed at Shannon Airport (EINN) on runway 06. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 52.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 391 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -379 feet per minute (fpm). However, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also off by 19.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 14°C. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 2,140 meters, which is approximately 70% of the runway length. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement in terms of alignment and alignment during the rollout phase.
