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 seven checks, where the approach path is 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 4,211 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 m 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 14 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,005 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Keitum in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The climb took 45 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,085 feet above sea level to 38,902 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,817 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Szlichtyngowa in Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland. This cruise phase lasted for 252 minutes, covering a distance of 2,018 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles west of Al Artawiyah in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia. The descent took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,452 feet above sea level to 5,047 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,404 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 8 miles west of OE44 Thumamah Thumamah in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles southwest of OE44 Thumamah Thumamah. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 5,000 feet above sea level to 3,352 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,648 feet.
The final approach to runway 15R at OERK King Khaled International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 150.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots and a touchdown distance of 270 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,491 nautical miles, taking 324 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 13,527 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at OERK King Khaled International Airport on runway 15R, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's control of the aircraft during the final approach was excellent, with a good threshold height and speed achieved at 122 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold. The touchdown distance of 270 meters was also within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience.
The landing itself was characterized by a good touchdown speed of 119 knots, which is within the recommended range for a Boeing 737-600 aircraft. However, the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown with a more gradual descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which the pilot was able to effectively manage during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,056 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and demonstrates a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures.
