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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 565 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 1,794 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from 1,037 feet above sea level to 36,449 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,412 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles north of Walkers Cay Airport in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 673 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles west of Long Neck, Delaware, and descended from 36,140 feet above sea level to 3,003 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,137 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles south west of NK30 Private Sealanes-Jamaica Bay Seaplane Base in Brooklyn, New York. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead CGAS Brooklyn, and descended from 2,520 feet above sea level to 298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,222 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) was made from the north west, heading 122.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 273 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13L, which had a length of 2,454 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 100 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,409 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 960 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 6,816 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport with a score of 95.3%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 122.0° at 1 nm and 273 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 147 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off the ideal position. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a bit faster than the desired speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -227 fpm was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24 °C and a moderate headwind of 10 kt at 100°. The crosswind was relatively light at 4 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,409 m was 57% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centre.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft was able to safely touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
