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 rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing B737-800, then departed from runway 15L, with a takeoff distance of 5,345 feet, which was 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,016 feet above sea level to 5,029 feet, an increase of 4,013 feet. The climb covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Aldine, Texas. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time starting 3 miles west of Aldine. The climb took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 4,995 feet to 37,504 feet, an increase of 32,508 feet. The climb covered a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Giddings, Texas. This cruise lasted for 132 minutes and covered 577 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 7 miles south west of NM26 Luna Landing Airport in Deming, New Mexico. The descent took 49 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,912 feet to 8,544 feet, a decrease of 29,368 feet. The descent covered a distance of 171 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 12 miles east of 17AZ East Valley ER. This cruise lasted for 27 minutes and covered 65 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another descent, starting 6 miles west of Laveen, Arizona. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 6,501 feet to 4,997 feet, a decrease of 1,503 feet. The descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles south west of KGYR Phoenix Goodyear Airport in Goodyear, Arizona. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another descent, starting 1 mile south west of KGYR Phoenix Goodyear Airport. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,513 feet to 3,445 feet, a decrease of 1,068 feet. The descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile south west of Tolleson, Arizona. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another descent, starting 2 miles north east of 1AZ2 Paradise Air Park in Tolleson. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,994 feet to 2,353 feet, a decrease of 641 feet. The descent covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 10,560 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 239 feet beyond the
The Boeing B737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, but with some notable deviations from optimal landing procedures. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 08, which has a length of 10,560 feet. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 136 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown point was 239 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly off-target. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indicator of a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 54 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 67°F. The total landing distance was 3,926 feet, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been even shorter if the pilot had maintained a more optimal touchdown speed and alignment.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 75 feet from the centreline. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including the pilot's post-landing control inputs and any residual effects from the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement that the pilot and the aircraft's systems could work on to achieve even better performance.
