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 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,685 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 31 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16 at KECP Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,092 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KECP Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,061 feet above sea level to 36,965 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,904 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 9 miles south east of KMGM Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport, and it lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles west of Douglas, Alabama. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,924 feet above sea level to 1,842 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,082 feet. The final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was then initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,239 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was characterized by a touchdown point that was 321 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 196°.
The total landing distance was 4,230 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. 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 364 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 6,968 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 20L was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 321 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal landing area. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a headwind of 11 knots at 196°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 4,230 feet was 53% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and achieve a smooth touchdown rate was commendable, and the good runway rollout alignment was a testament to their skill and experience.
