Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,708 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,326 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 A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 12, and the takeoff distance was 6,036 feet, which accounted for 86% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 287 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,159 feet above sea level to 27,137 feet, a total increase of 25,978 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Borghetto di Vara, Italy, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 26 miles southwest of Portofino, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 26,642 feet above sea level to 420 feet, a decrease of 26,221 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the northeast, heading 225.0 degrees, at an altitude of 398 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 9,708 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 139 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,330 feet, which was within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 81°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 170 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 4,725 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 187 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,529 pounds.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 22L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at 1 nautical mile and 398 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent, ultimately resulting in a smooth touchdown.
The aircraft's touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 139 knots, but still within a safe margin. However, the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm) was well within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 170°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 4,725 feet was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The 99.1% score indicates a near-perfect landing, with only minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed.
