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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,863 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,863 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 1,565 m, which represented 50 % of the runway, and lifted off at 151 kt; local weather was 17 °C with wind 2 kt at 269 °, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of LFBD, with the A319 ascending from 1,440 ft asl to 32,009 ft asl, a gain of 30,569 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 104 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles north-east of Brux and lasted 30 minutes, during which 225 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile south of Le Bosquel, with altitude decreasing from 32,009 ft asl to 4,359 ft asl, a loss of 27,650 ft in 16 minutes over 93 nm.
A short cruise over Godveerdegem followed, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile west of Opwijk, dropping from 4,011 ft asl to 2,010 ft asl, a reduction of 2,001 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 12 nm.
Subsequent cruise over Mechelen lasted 8 minutes and spanned 25 nm.
Final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport was executed from the north-east on a heading of 246.0 °, beginning at 4 nm and 1,480 ft agl; the aircraft descended from 1,520 ft agl to 264 ft agl in 96 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25R, whose length is 3,329 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 132 kt; touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the touchdown zone at 124 kt and a firm rate of minus 305 fpm, with very good runway-touchdown alignment. Weather at the time was 15 °C with wind 2 kt at 270 °, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,781 m, representing 53 % of the runway, and the aircraft finished slightly off centreline by 11.8 m.
Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 484 nm, taking 88 and used 3,396 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 246.0° at 4 nm and 1,480 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and the aircraft descended from 1,520 ft agl to 264 ft agl in 96 seconds.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 124 kt that was judged good; the touchdown rate was firm, minus 305 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,781 m, representing 53 % of the 3,329 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.8 m from the centreline.
The 72.5 % score reflects an unstable approach speed and a modest centreline deviation in rollout; tightening speed control to remain within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate and refining directional control to keep the aircraft centred will raise consistency and overall performance.
