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 2,113 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,113 m of the 3,715 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 13 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG), with a takeoff distance of 1,622 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. After departing from Málaga, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of the airport and climbing from 1,025 feet above sea level to 36,735 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,710 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles south west of Tetouan, Morocco, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 20 miles south west of Ksar El Kebir, Morocco, and descending from 36,931 feet above sea level to 1,951 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,979 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at Mohammed V International Airport (GMMN) was made from the south, heading 344.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35L, which had a length of 3,715 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 342 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -458 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 140 degrees, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a tailwind component of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,030 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 261 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 2,228 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at GMMN Mohammed V International Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 35L was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 116 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 118 knots. The touchdown distance of 342 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -458 feet per minute (fpm) was classified as hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.4 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,030 meters was 55% of the available runway length of 3,715 meters. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was considered successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the hard touchdown rate and the misalignment of the runway touchdown position and runway rollout alignment.
