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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,963 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,340 ft touchdown sits inside 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 08L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 5,273 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, and involved a significant ascent from 1,022 feet above sea level to 35,146 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,124 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Fellsmere Airport (4FL3) in Florida. This phase lasted for 92 minutes and covered a distance of 613 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles northwest of Jackson, Kentucky, and involved a descent from 35,072 feet above sea level to 2,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,909 feet in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG) was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,341 feet, which was 22% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -375 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,592 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 836 nautical miles and lasted for 160 minutes, using 13,577 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 1,341 feet, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -375 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 34 feet off-centerline. This deviation is relatively minor and may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the aircraft's landing distance of 2,592 feet was only 22% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft performed well during the landing at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. While there was a minor deviation in the runway rollout alignment, the landing was generally smooth and controlled, with good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.
