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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,493 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,146 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 49% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 49°F.
As the aircraft climbed out of KJFK, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,028 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,986 feet, an increase of 28,958 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began overhead the Mountain Bay Air Park Inc Airport in Greentown, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, which started overhead Archbald, Pennsylvania. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 30,118 feet to 37,901 feet, an increase of 7,783 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 71 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 4 miles east of Tioga, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 83 minutes, covering a significant distance of 714 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase, which started 1 mile south-east of the Newton Municipal Airport in Iowa. The aircraft descended from 37,998 feet to 4,272 feet, a decrease of 33,727 feet, in 33 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 3 miles south-west of Treynor, Iowa, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute descent phase, which started 5 miles south of the Council Bluffs Municipal Airport in Iowa. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 4,048 feet to 2,262 feet, a decrease of 1,786 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at Eppley Airfield (KOMA) was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 324.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,148 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 47°F. The total landing distance was 4,302 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 100 feet from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,016 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,695 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield, scoring an impressive 87.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,148 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. However, there was a slight deviation during the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being misaligned by 100 feet from the centerline. This minor issue did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 47°F, which is relatively cool. Despite the cool temperature, the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft and execute a smooth landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
