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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 6,027 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,027 ft of the 8,550 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,556 ft 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 6,571 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Doha, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 71°F and winds of 8 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport and reached an altitude of 20,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,006 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 14 miles north of OMAR Arzanah Airport in Arzanah Island, Abu Dhabi, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 7 miles west of OMAQ Qarnayn Airport in Qarnayn Island, Abu Dhabi, which took the aircraft to an altitude of 34,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,628 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of OMAA Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, and lasted for 120 minutes, covering a distance of 1,028 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, which took the aircraft to an altitude of 36,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,990 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 445 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 52 miles west of VREI Ifuru Airport in Ifuru Island, Maldives, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,005 feet above sea level to 1,253 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,752 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at VRMM Malé International Airport was made from the south, heading 358.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 8,550 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 198 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 5,769 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and winds of 4 knots at 50°.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,813 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 257 minutes. The aircraft used 23,893 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 358.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 knots. The touchdown point was located 198 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 25 feet, which 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 82°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,769 feet was 67% of the available runway length of 8,550 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 26 feet, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position deviation.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
