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 5,464 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,464 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,848 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,049 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Virginia Gardens, Florida. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 1,060 feet above sea level to 21,987 feet above sea level, a total increase of 20,927 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 11 miles south east of the Duda Airstrip Belle Glade (FA69), lasting 5 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 7 miles north west of Canal Point, Florida, and took 21 minutes to descend from 22,012 feet above sea level to 1,366 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,647 feet. The descent covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) was made from the south, with a heading of 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35R was successful, with a touchdown point 501 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 141 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -176 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 260 degrees.
The total landing distance was 5,217 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft took 9 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 168 nautical miles, taking a total of 55 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,783 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 35R was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 501 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was also a bit faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth landing.
The runway length at KMCO Orlando International Airport is 9,032 feet, which is more than sufficient to accommodate the Boeing 737-800. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was also slightly above the target. These minor deviations did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,217 feet was 58% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
