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 6,573 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,411 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 35R at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The takeoff distance was 3,606 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Oklahoma City, it encountered local weather conditions of 85°F temperature and a 7-knot headwind. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 2,292 feet above sea level to 4,975 feet, an increase of 2,683 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles south of Bethany, Oklahoma, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 5,185 feet to 39,199 feet, an increase of 34,014 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. This climb took the aircraft over the Texas border, where it entered the airspace of the United States.
The enroute level cruise then resumed 1 mile north of Venable Airpark in Aubrey, Texas, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 4 miles southeast of Mart, Texas, where it descended from 39,170 feet to 11,782 feet, a decrease of 27,388 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began again 3 miles southwest of Hempstead, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Fair Weather Field in Monaville, Texas, where it descended from 11,254 feet to 1,318 feet, a decrease of 9,937 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport was made from the northwest, heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 6,573 feet long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 139 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 1,412 feet. However, the touchdown speed was fast at 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 83°F temperature and a 7-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 4,063 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 394 nautical miles, which was covered in 76 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,228 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KHOU William P Hobby Airport, with a final approach score of 97.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 13R, which has a length of 6,573 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 139 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft earlier than expected.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 1,412 feet. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired, coming in at 135 knots. This may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate, which was reported as fair at -269 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 155°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 4,063 feet, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
