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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 922 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,230 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 3 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 5,224 feet above sea level to 31,878 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,654 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southwest of Vernon, Utah. This phase lasted for 175 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles north of Washington, Utah. The descent was from an altitude of 31,876 feet above sea level to 3,352 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,524 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 10,506 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 931 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -161 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 4,226 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 336 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 6,564 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport on runway 26L, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 931 feet, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a light wind of 4 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible effect on the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,226 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the target values.
