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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft took to the skies, taxiing from the parking position to the runway at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, a journey that lasted approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Departure roll commenced on runway 15L at KIAH, with the aircraft taking advantage of the available 6,337 feet of runway, which equated to 53% of the total length. A takeoff speed of 161 knots was achieved, enabling the plane to lift off successfully. Local weather conditions were ideal, with a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle tailwind of 3 knots.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south of KIAH, with the aircraft soaring from an initial altitude of 1,144 feet to an impressive 33,807 feet. This significant increase of 32,664 feet was accomplished over the course of 24 minutes and spanned a distance of 160 nautical miles. As the plane gained altitude, the crew continued to navigate through a stable local weather system.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, commencing approximately 10 miles southwest of 2LA0 Central Industries Airport at Intracoastal City, Louisiana. This phase of the flight lasted 56 minutes, during which time the aircraft maintained a stable altitude and covered a substantial 1,443 nautical miles.
En route, descent began approximately 68 miles north of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, with the aircraft gradually descending from an altitude of 34,351 feet to 1,333 feet over a 26-minute period and a distance of 136 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of the final approach to runway 10 at TJSJ Luis Munoz Marin International Airport.
The aircraft approached the airport from the west, heading 90.0 degrees, and maintaining an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level. Touchdown speed was a respectable 132 knots, with a touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute providing a smooth landing. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, 12 feet from the centreline, the aircraft's landing distance of 1,220 feet, or 45% of the runaway's length, was remarkably good.
Local weather conditions at touchdown were warm, with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gentle headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft's runway rollout alignment was highly satisfactory, enabling a smooth transition from runway to taxiway. Taxiing to the parking position from the runway took just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Throughout the journey, the aircraft consumed a total of 24,005 pounds of fuel, ultimately covering an impressive 1,747 nautical miles, with a total flight duration of 119 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft made a successful landing at TJSJ Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, scoring an impressive 99.4% overall. The crew successfully navigated the aircraft to the final approach runway 10 from the west, maintaining a heading of 90.0° at an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
On final approach, the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which contributed significantly to the landing's success. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. Furthermore, the touchdown distance was well within acceptable limits at 1,220 feet, demonstrating exceptional landing accuracy by the crew. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good, further highlighting the skilled landing.
Although a slight misalignment of 12 feet from the centerline occurred upon touchdown, the overall touchdown rate remained smooth at -129 feet per minute (fpm). The aircraft's runway touchdown position may have been slightly off-center, but it did not jeopardize the landing. In terms of local weather conditions, a pleasant temperature of 88°F and a moderate 10-knot headwind were present, with crosswinds remaining minimal, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance, which took into account both aircraft deceleration on the runway after touchdown and its eventual rollout to a complete stop, came in at 3,598 feet, accounting for just 45% of the available runway length. This is a more than reasonable figure for such a maneuver under existing conditions. Upon exiting the runway, the aircraft's rollout alignment was deemed very good, with no issues noted. The landing was, therefore, deemed a successful one, with the crew's precision and skill being evident throughout the approach and touchdown process.
