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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 17 at CYFI Firebag, a Canadian airport. The takeoff distance was 993 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 186°, with no crosswind but a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYFI Firebag, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,767 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 35,915 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 254 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles east of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and lasted for 79 minutes, covering a distance of 1,014 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 32 miles west of Tobermory, Ontario, and involved a descent from 39,111 feet to 2,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,548 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 212 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southwest of Quinte West, Ontario, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 4 miles north of Belleville, Ontario, and involved a descent from 2,545 feet to 1,545 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,000 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at CYTR CFB Trenton, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 231.0° and at an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a threshold speed of 128 knots and a touchdown speed of 121 knots. The touchdown distance was 357 meters, and the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 60°, with no crosswind but a 1-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 864 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,507 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8,273 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at CFB Trenton's runway 24, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have achieved a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 60°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's approach and landing, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 864 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
