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.
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 5,589 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,589 ft of the 10,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,131 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 167 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the LS40 St Charles Airport in Ama, Louisiana. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 147 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,012 feet above sea level to 35,555 feet above sea level. This represented an increase of 34,543 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of the 9LA6 Chandler Airport in Alexandria, Louisiana. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles west of the KATA Hall Miller Municipal Airport in Atlanta, Texas, descending from an altitude of 35,614 feet above sea level to 3,699 feet above sea level over a distance of 154 nautical miles in 40 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of Holdenville, Oklahoma, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its descent 1 mile west of Schulter, Oklahoma, descending from an altitude of 3,501 feet above sea level to 2,260 feet above sea level over a distance of 4 nautical miles in 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its descent 3 miles east of Jenks, Oklahoma, descending from an altitude of 2,444 feet above sea level to 1,931 feet above sea level over a distance of 5 nautical miles in 2 minutes.
The final approach to runway 36R at Tulsa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 36R, which had a length of 10,014 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 156 knots.
The touchdown point was 778 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -200 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 351 degrees.
The total landing distance was 5,335 feet, which represented 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 512 nautical miles and took 137 minutes to complete, using 15,349 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KTUL Tulsa International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36R, which has a length of 10,014 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 778 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 351°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a steady and accurate course during the final approach.
The total landing distance of 5,335 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline, indicating that the pilots may have needed to make some adjustments to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
