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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,044 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 130 nautical miles, taking 46 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 274 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft Cockspur PH100 successfully landed at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision as it descended onto runway 10, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 97 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 457 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 84 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have presented a manageable challenge for the pilot, and the successful landing is a credit to their skills and experience.
The total landing distance of 1,044 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed, and had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, this landing was a credit to the pilot's skills and experience, and demonstrates a high level of proficiency and control.
