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 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 05L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 918 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The climb took 41 minutes and covered 338 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,459 feet above sea level to 39,310 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,851 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Hickory Hills, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 233 minutes and covered 1,542 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 112 miles southwest of BGMQ Maniitsoq Airport in Greenland. The descent took 25 minutes and covered 205 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,912 feet above sea level to 2,551 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,361 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southwest of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles southwest of Kangerlussuaq. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,381 feet above sea level to 1,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,008 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at BGSF Kangerlussuaq Airport was made from the southwest, heading 62.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 931 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,103 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 308 minutes. The aircraft used 11,323 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Kangerlussuaq Airport, with a final approach score of 98.4%. The aircraft was approaching runway 09 from the southwest, heading 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 136 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a safe speed during the final approach. The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -10°C, and a light wind of 4 knots from 39°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 931 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to execute a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft tracking smoothly along the centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique throughout the approach and landing.
