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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,199 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 06 at PAVD Valdez Pioneer Field in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 736 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 138 kt; ambient conditions were 16 °C with an 8 kt wind from 075°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Valdez, climbing from 1,110 ft asl to 40,993 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,883 ft achieved in 39 minutes while traversing 309 nm.
Cruise began 4 mi west of A69 Tanis Mesa Airport, Yakutat, and continued for 109 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 863 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 4 mi south of Sicamous, British Columbia, descending from 40,961 ft asl to 4,320 ft asl, a loss of 36,641 ft in 22 minutes and a distance of 146 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at CYXC Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 179.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,249 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16 was executed with a threshold speed of 123 kt; touchdown occurred 299 m down the runway at 116 kt and a descent rate of minus 162 fpm, with the wheel track 4.2 m left of centreline. The runway length is 2,199 m, and the total landing roll measured 789 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft came to a stop within the remaining runway distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,324 nm, required 177 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,104 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700, scored 99.2 % on the landing, approached runway 16 at CYXC Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport from the north on a heading of 179.0° at 4 NM and 1,249 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained good height and established a threshold speed of 123 kt, both described as good.
Touchdown occurred 299 m down the runway at a speed of 116 kt and a vertical rate of minus 162 fpm, both rated good. The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline on a runway 2,199 m long, using a total landing distance of 789 m (36 % of runway). Ambient temperature was 21 °C with wind 1 kt from 0°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 1 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
Minor refinement of centreline alignment at touchdown would bring the already excellent performance to full precision; a slight adjustment of the flare path to keep the aircraft tighter to the centreline is recommended.
