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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,291 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,048 feet above sea level to 30,320 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,272 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Vall-Llobrega in Catalonia, Spain. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 216 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Ojos Negros in Aragon, Spain. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 29,598 feet above sea level to 3,160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,437 feet.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the southeast, heading 322.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,199 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,002 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 110 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 457 meters, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -71 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 346 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 970 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 3,100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Fantastic job on achieving a landing score of 97.9%! Let's break down each phase of the landing to see where you excelled and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a high level of precision in guiding the aircraft down to the runway. The slightly below target threshold speed of 110 kt shows good control over airspeed, although aiming to hit the target speed more accurately in the future could further improve the overall landing performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated good threshold height control and a perfect landing flare. This suggests a smooth transition from descent to landing, ensuring a gentle touchdown on the runway. Maintaining this level of precision will lead to consistently successful landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, you achieved an excellent touchdown rate of -71 ft/m, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 100 kt was good, showing a balanced approach to approach speed management. Landing within 457 m of the threshold is a positive result, although the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position by 7.4 m from the centerline could be improved upon through increased attention to approach alignment.
Overall, your landing performance was commendable, with strong points in glideslope alignment, landing flare, and touchdown rate. By focusing on fine-tuning airspeed control, runway alignment, and threshold position, you have the potential to further enhance your landing skills and achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flights!
