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 described flight was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. It began with a taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles (nm). Upon departure, the aircraft took off from runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM) in Germany.
The takeoff roll covered 38% of the 1,519-meter runway and reached a liftoff speed of 154 knots (kt). At that time, the local weather conditions consisted of a moderate temperature of 14°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots (kt) at 350° and a negligible headwind.
Following a climb from 2,476 feet above sea level (asl), the aircraft started its enroute climb, which led it through a series of altitude adjustments. The climb from Munich took it to 37,016 feet asl, a significant increase of 34,539 feet, over 140 nautical miles, and within 24 minutes, reaching a peak altitude at an unspecified location.
Next, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise approximately 2 miles north-west of the town of Stenico in Italy. This leg involved a steady altitude of 37,013 feet asl and lasted for 72 minutes while covering 540 nautical miles.
The enroute descent initiated 12 miles south-east of Deltebre Airport in Spain and saw a 36,109-foot decrease in altitude to 904 feet asl within 17 minutes. It covered 93 nautical miles.
A subsequent enroute climb commenced near the town of Quart de Poblet in Spain, resulting in an ascent of 3,074 feet in just 3 minutes to reach an altitude of 4,008 feet asl. It covered 7 nautical miles.
Thereafter, the aircraft experienced a series of short cruising phases while moving over various towns and locations in Spain, including Albuixech and Valencia. It also engaged in several subsequent climb phases from the initial locations to increase altitude.
The aircraft eventually started its final descent towards Valencia Airport. This started 2 miles south-east of Ribarroja del Turia, with the aircraft losing 2,329 feet in altitude within 3 minutes. Following another short cruise phase near Bugarra and Pedralba, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at Valencia Airport, heading 116° from a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Upon approaching the landing threshold, the aircraft maintained a speed marginally higher than the target, at 139 kt. The landing touchdown was 109 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone at a rate of 130 kt with a touchdown rate of -162 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was satisfactory, but the post-landing rollout alignment deviated by 13.4 meters from the centreline.
Finally, the aircraft was successfully taxied to the parking area within a short period of 3 minutes and at less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, this particular flight of the Airbus A321 aircraft was remarkable in its efficiency since it spanned approximately 831 nautical miles and took almost 2 hours and 43 minutes, consuming around 6977 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LEVC Valencia Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,369 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing took place on runway 12, which has a length of 2,910 meters. The crew managed to maintain a good threshold height, despite the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the speed at touching down was 130 knots, which is slightly higher than the desired speed. However, the touchdown rate was satisfactory at -162 feet per minute (fpm).
One notable aspect of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was perfect. The local weather conditions included a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from a direction of 338°. This resulted in crosswind and tailwind components of 6 knots each.
The landing distance covered 1,055 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, being off by 13.4 meters from the centerline, the performance otherwise was commendable.
The fact that the landing was executed with such precision, despite the slight deviations, testifies to the crew's expertise and training. The overall score reflects their hard work and attention to detail.
