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 10,975 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 974 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,148 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and winds of 12 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,060 feet above sea level to 36,715 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,655 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of Porto Azzurro, Italy, and lasted for 78 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 560 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 1 mile southwest of Crouy-Saint-Pierre, France, and ended 1 mile southeast of Brixton Hill, England. The descent from 36,129 feet above sea level to 2,908 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,221 feet, took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a short descent, which began 1 mile northwest of Earlsfield, England, and ended with a touchdown at EGLL London Heathrow Airport. The final approach to runway 27L was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 27L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 978 feet, which was 38% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and winds of 4 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,197 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 790 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,038 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 978 feet, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed was also good at 122 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute (fpm), which is slightly higher than the ideal rate. This may be due to the aircraft's weight, air density, or other factors affecting the descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance was 4,197 feet, which is 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and aligned it with the centreline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
