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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,638 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,762 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 77°F and winds of 2 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, and involved a significant increase in altitude from 1,090 feet above sea level to 36,118 feet above sea level, a rise of 35,028 feet in 22 minutes and covering 106 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 11 miles south of Captiva, Florida, and lasted for 91 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 594 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 16 miles south of the LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad Heliport in Kenner, Louisiana, and involved a decrease in altitude from 36,080 feet above sea level to 3,128 feet above sea level, a drop of 32,952 feet in 23 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of the 3TE1 Gum Island Airport in Dayton, Texas, and lasted for 5 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles southeast of Atascocita, Texas, and involved a decrease in altitude from 2,009 feet above sea level to 1,355 feet above sea level, a drop of 654 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27, which had a length of 9,971 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 270 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 72°F and winds of 2 knots at 170°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,642 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 839 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 163 minutes. The aircraft used 15,338 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
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 147 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 270 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute (fpm), which was deemed fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,642 feet was 47% of the available runway length of 9,971 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline, which may be considered a minor deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, resulting in a safe and successful landing at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport.
