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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,506 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a swift taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking only 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll from runway 15 at YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport was expedited, with a takeoff distance of 968 m, representing 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 28°C and a wind of 8 knots at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft embarked on its enroute climb from YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport to West Island, Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, it ascended from 1,038 ft asl to 39,904 ft asl, covering a vertical distance of 38,866 ft in 35 minutes and spanning a horizontal distance of 252 nm. Subsequently, the aircraft entered a level cruise at a specific latitude and longitude coordinates, maintaining this altitude for 130 minutes and covering 1,029 nm.
The enroute descent phase commenced at different coordinates, guiding the aircraft from an altitude of 39,968 ft asl to 2,866 ft asl, a total decrease of 37,102 ft accomplished in 18 minutes over a distance of 164 nm. A brief interlude of level cruise followed, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nm, situated 6 miles south of Kataragama, Province of Uva, Sri Lanka.
The culmination of the flight involved a landing on runway 23 at VCRI Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, utilizing a runway length of 3,506 m. The aircraft reached a height of 38 ft above ground level at the threshold, and the speed at this juncture was 127 knots. The touchdown occurred 528 m from the threshold at a speed of 120 knots, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) registered a descent rate of -178 ft/minute. The local weather conditions during landing included a temperature of 27°C and a wind of 2 knots at 59°, creating a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance covered was 1,005 m, representing 29% of the runway length. The subsequent taxi from the runway to the parking area was expedited, taking only 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight covered a distance of 1,461 nm, lasted 195 minutes, and consumed 8,159 kg of fuel.
