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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,609 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba Island was marked by a smooth taxiing process, taking just 3 minutes to reach the runway. The Boeing 737-600 then accelerated down runway 29, lifting off at a speed of 134 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,362 meters, which covered just 50% of the available runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a gentle tailwind of 10 kt, contributed to a straightforward departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from the island, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 39,749 ft after a 45-minute ascent from 962 ft. The climb covered a distance of 341 nm, with the aircraft passing 1 mile south of Oranjestad before leveling off. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 73 minutes and covering 539 nm, before the aircraft began its descent towards MHLM Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport in Honduras. The descent from 39,986 ft to 2,496 ft took just 25 minutes, covering 173 nm, and was followed by a brief level cruise phase before the final approach.
The Boeing 737-600 then began its final approach to runway 22 at MHLM Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, touching down after a distance of 341 meters. The touchdown speed of 115 kt was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -240 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 807 meters was just 31% of the available runway, and the taxiing process to the parking area took just 1 minute. The total flight distance of 1,069 nm was completed in 150 minutes, with the aircraft using 6,732 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 22 at MHLM Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 220.0° as it descended from 1,324 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The approach was initiated from the north east, aligning with the runway's orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed of 120 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The touchdown distance of 341 meters was within the acceptable range, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to minor deviations in the approach or crosswind effects.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the remaining distance. The total landing distance of 807 meters, accounting for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 69°, did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.6%, reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
