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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,627 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,627 ft of the 11,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,968 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,727 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,088 feet above sea level to 35,028 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,940 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 168 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles south of 2LA0 Central Industries Airport Intracoastal City, and it lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from a latitude of 27.8173616 and a longitude of -84.7040792, descending from 35,096 feet above sea level to 1,266 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,829 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19R at KTPA Tampa International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 182.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19R was successful, with the touchdown point being 624 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -5 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,383 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft took 2 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 696 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used 10,920 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KTPA Tampa International Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach to runway 19R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 182.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 624 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 138 kt.
The touchdown rate of -5 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, which may require adjustments during future landings. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86°F, with a wind speed of 4 kt at 219°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 5,383 feet was 49% of the available runway length of 11,040 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may require further adjustments to ensure a smooth and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the aircraft's touchdown rate and overall landing distance were satisfactory.
