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.

Side view — the last 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 2,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport, where the aircraft, an Airbus A321, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,190 meters, which is 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dresden Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,701 feet above sea level to 23,867 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,166 feet in just 11 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 68 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Manetin, Czech Republic, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Konzell, Germany, descending from 23,505 feet above sea level to 6,036 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,469 feet in 10 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Tarsdorf, Austria, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The final enroute descent began 1 mile east of Ostermiething, Austria, where the aircraft descended from 5,766 feet above sea level to 2,708 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,058 feet in 4 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at LOWS Salzburg Airport was made from the northwest, heading 157.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 400 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,535 meters, which is 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -648 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Salzburg Airport (LOWI) with a score of 99.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 157.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 15, which has a length of 2,312 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land smoothly. The touchdown distance of 400 meters was within acceptable limits, further indicating a well-executed landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit more force than necessary.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable. The temperature was -4°C, and the wind was light, blowing at 3 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,535 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency.
