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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,837 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Fw 190 A-8 taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 33 at LFH2 Bale Mulhouse, with a takeoff distance of 777 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Bartenheim, where the aircraft ascended from 1,858 feet above sea level to 4,651 feet, an increase of 2,793 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Wittersdorf, where the aircraft descended from 4,586 feet to 2,341 feet, a decrease of 2,245 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Muespach-le-Haut and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 33 at LFH2 Bale Mulhouse, it was heading southeast at 337.0 degrees, at an altitude of 108 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 33, which had a length of 3,837 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 112 knots.
The touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 92 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 41.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 300 degrees.
The final leg of the flight involved taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 43 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Fw 190 A-8 aircraft successfully landed at LFH2 Bale Mulhouse, with a final approach from the south east, heading 337.0° at 0 nm and 108 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 112 kt. The touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 92 kt was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -224 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 300°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 970 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Despite the overall success of the landing, there was a notable issue with the runway rollout alignment. The aircraft deviated significantly from the centerline by 41.0 meters, which could be a concern for safety and control during the rollout phase. This deviation may have been caused by a variety of factors, including pilot error, aircraft handling characteristics, or other external influences.
Overall, the Fw 190 A-8 aircraft demonstrated a good level of proficiency in landing at LFH2 Bale Mulhouse, with a score of 83.8%. However, the pilot should focus on improving the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment to achieve a more consistent and safe landing performance.
