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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 253 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH), the A400M began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 22R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 3,287-meter runway. The takeoff distance was 341 meters, representing 11% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb phase began 2 miles west of Dragor, where the aircraft ascended from 1,125 feet above sea level to 25,919 feet, a vertical gain of 24,794 feet in just 9 minutes. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a descent phase, which started 18 miles east of Anholt Flyveplads Anholt, and continued until it reached 3,605 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,273 feet in 14 minutes. The final level cruise phase took place overhead Bjoerboholm, Sweden, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Göteborg Landvetter Airport (ESGG), it began its final approach to runway 21, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 122 knots and a touchdown speed of 114 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 252 meters. The aircraft touched down with a rate of -612 feet per minute, which was considered heavy. The total landing distance was 978 meters, representing 30% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 168 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 2,192 kilograms of fuel during the 41-minute flight.
The final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport from the north east, heading 206.0° at 4 nm and 1,382 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable descent and aligned itself with the runway, setting up for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was good, allowing the crew to maintain a safe margin for the landing.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 21, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a speed of 114 kt and a distance of 252 m. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -612 fpm, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and a headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The rollout phase was completed with a total landing distance of 978 m, which was 30% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.1 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was scored 88.8%, reflecting the good approach quality, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout, despite the heavy touchdown rate and slight deviation from the centreline.
