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.
Side view — the last 874 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 874 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 261 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 58% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,435 meters, and the liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 16 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,202 feet above sea level to 4,711 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,509 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Ockley in Surrey, England, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 6 miles south of Hove in Brighton and Hove, England, where it climbed from 5,869 feet above sea level to 37,355 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,485 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Bailleul-les-Pernes in Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 57 minutes, covering a distance of 427 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent overhead Cavenago d'Adda in Lombardia, Italy. The descent from 37,793 feet above sea level to 1,412 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,381 feet in 23 minutes, covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, was made from the southwest, heading 48.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. 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 good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was 259 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, both of which were good.
The touchdown rate was very hard at -588 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, which was 116% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 675 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. The aircraft used 4,051 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, with a score of 83.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south-west, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
The touchdown distance of 259 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained good control during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -588 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, suggesting that the pilot may have applied excessive braking or reverse thrust during the landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, and the pilot was able to maintain good control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,017 meters was 116% of the runway length, which is slightly above the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained good control during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but the pilot may need to work on reducing the touchdown rate to achieve a higher score.
