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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,911 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.30 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 25C, achieving a takeoff distance of 2,131 m which represented 53 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 158 kt. Ambient conditions were 39 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 209 °, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb began 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany. The flight ascended from 1,297 ft asl to 37,725 ft asl, an increase of 36,428 ft, over 22 minutes while covering 141 nm.
The first cruise segment started 1 mile north-west of Thorn, Limburg, The Netherlands and lasted 15 minutes, during which 102 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 13 miles north-west of Domburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands, descending from 38,003 ft asl to 3,747 ft asl, a loss of 34,256 ft in 25 minutes and covering 139 nm.
A second cruise phase was flown overhead of Horsted Keynes, West Sussex, England, lasting 7 minutes and spanning 25 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile north-west of Rudgwick, West Sussex, England, dropping from 3,011 ft asl to 1,523 ft asl, a decrease of 1,488 ft in 3 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 77.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,311 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 50 °, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a head-wind of 4 kt.
Landing on runway 08R, which is 2,919 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 138 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown was recorded 92 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 216 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 5.5 m from the centreline.
Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,635 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was off centreline by 9.3 m during rollout.
In total, the flight covered 517 nm, lasted 84 minutes, and consumed 3,679 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 approached runway 08R at EGKK from the west on a heading of 77.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,311 ft agl, with temperature 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 050°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component. The final approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft displayed good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 92 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 129 kt, described as a little fast, and a touchdown rate that was fair at minus 216 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1,635 m, representing 56 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 9.3 m from the centreline.
To improve future performance, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by moderating the sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate and reducing the approach speed to meet the target threshold value. Maintaining precise centre-line alignment through touchdown and rollout will further enhance consistency.
