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 rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGKK London Gatwick Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 61% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,513 meters, and the liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 114 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Charlwood in Surrey, England. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,230 feet above sea level to 36,228 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,998 feet, in just 20 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, which was maintained for 65 minutes as it flew over the town of Le Bocasse in Normandie, France. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 434 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting overhead the town of Bertonico in Lombardia, Italy. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,779 feet above sea level to 12,089 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,691 feet, in just 12 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a second level cruise, which lasted for just 2 minutes as it flew 2 miles north of the town of Coreglia Antelminelli in Toscana, Italy. The aircraft covered a distance of 8 nautical miles during this brief period. The enroute descent then resumed, starting 4 miles west of the town of San Marcello Pistoiese in Toscana, Italy. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 12,096 feet above sea level to 1,404 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,692 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 48.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level at this point. The landing took place on runway 05, which had a length of 874 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 202 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -492 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 110 degrees. There was a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 886 meters, which was 101% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft had landed smoothly and was under control. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 656 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,383 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, with a score of 84.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south-west, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 129 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 202 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -492 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require further attention from the pilots to improve their touchdown speed control.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 110°, and a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, and the pilots were able to execute a safe and controlled touchdown. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate may require further attention and training to improve the overall quality of the landing.
