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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,740 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,740 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 24L, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 2,091 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 174 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 10°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 119 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 106 nautical miles in 18 minutes, ascending from 1,196 feet above sea level to 31,130 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 7 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, decreasing its altitude from 31,570 feet to 10,160 feet in 14 minutes, while covering 87 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 10,157 feet to 3,208 feet in 5 minutes, while covering 22 nautical miles.
The Airbus A321 finally began its final approach to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, descending from 2,969 feet to 1,411 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 8 nautical miles. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 224 meters, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,656 meters, accounting for 69% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance was 298 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 66 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,103 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the south west was conducted at a heading of 53.0°, commencing at 4 nm and 1,273 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed was also within acceptable limits at 143 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 142 kt, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -453 fpm. The touchdown distance of 224 m was, however, within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.9 m, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 150°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,656 m, accounting for 69% of the runway length, was reasonable. However, the runway rollout alignment was again misaligned from the centreline by 16.8 m, indicating a need for improvement in the aircraft's control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 90.4%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
