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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,114 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,335 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile south west of Langenhorn, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,080 feet above sea level to 37,711 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,631 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Beilen, Netherlands, and lasting 34 minutes, covering a distance of 242 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began overhead EGQT Lindens Farm Airstrip Laceby, England, and the aircraft descended from 38,242 feet above sea level to 2,028 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,214 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north east of Whitley Bay, England, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport was made from the north east, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 446 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,355 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 489 nautical miles, taking 94 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,238 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 25, which has a length of 2,114 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 446 meters, which is within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm). However, this was still considered fair, and the aircraft's alignment with the runway at touchdown was perfect. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 300°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The total landing distance was 1,355 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
