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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,339 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,339 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,014 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10L at Portland International Airport (KPDX). The takeoff distance was 4,676 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 60°F and winds of 4 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from KPDX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Maywood Park, Oregon. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,044 feet above sea level to 34,296 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,252 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Pilot Butte Airport (8OR5) in Bend, Oregon. This phase lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 467 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles northwest of Beatty Airport (KBET) in Beatty, Nevada. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,071 feet above sea level to 3,358 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,713 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79°F and winds of 2 knots at 120°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 26L, which had a length of 10,506 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,014 feet, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft underwent a runway rollout alignment, which was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 5,038 feet, accounting for 48% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 683 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 122 minutes. The aircraft used 11,664 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 26L was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,014 feet, and the touchdown speed was also good at 134 knots. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -209 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent.
The landing distance of 5,038 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 10,506 feet. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 26 feet, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 28 feet, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centre. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
