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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 820 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft used for the flight was a Boeing 737-700, operating from Los Angeles International Airport, where it departed from runway 24L. Upon departure, it experienced a takeoff distance of 3,250 feet, covering 34% of the runway, and reached liftoff speed of 136 knots in a relatively calm environment, with wind at 4 knots and a temperature of 77 °F.
As the aircraft climbed, it reached an altitude of 28,954 feet, increasing its altitude by 27,828 feet from its initial point of 1,126 feet in just 11 minutes and covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-west of El Segundo, California.
After levelling off, the aircraft stayed in a cruise for 9 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 68 nautical miles and maintained its altitude of 28,954 feet. This phase of the flight began 3 miles north-east of Phelan, California.
To continue its journey, the aircraft initiated a descent 14 miles west of Fort Irwin Airport, California, and decreased its altitude from 28,968 feet to 3,358 feet over a period of 21 minutes, traversing a distance of 87 nautical miles.
In its final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, the aircraft was approaching from the east at a heading of 270.0 °, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level.
Landing on the runway, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height and threshold speed of 124 knots, but slightly exceeded the required touchdown speed of 120 knots, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, off-set by 20 feet from the centreline, while the temperature was 71 °F and the wind speed was 2 knots.
The total landing distance on the 10,506-foot runway was 4,651 feet, covering 44% of the runway, and demonstrated a very good runway rollout alignment. Once the aircraft landed safely on the runway, it taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to do so and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, this Boeing 737-700 flight utilised a total of 216 nautical miles and lasted for 51 minutes, consuming 4,564 pounds of fuel during the journey. The performance of the aircraft throughout its various phases was observed to be satisfactory.
A Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) with a score of 97.6%. The plane approached the runway from the east, heading in a direction of 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above the ground (agl).
The final approach to the runway was executed smoothly, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at an appropriate speed of 124 knots, taking only 815 feet in the process. However, despite a relatively precise touchdown speed, there was a slight discrepancy, as the aircraft landed at 120 knots, which was a tad faster than the recommended value. The touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was classified as fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have been experiencing some degree of impact upon touchdown.
It's worth noting that despite good visibility conditions, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by about 20 feet. Nonetheless, this had an insignificant impact on the overall outcome of the flight.
The local weather during the landing was characterized by a temperature of 71 °F and gentle winds of 2 knots from 250°. The crosswind and headwind speeds were measured at 1 knot each from different directions, resulting in a negligible impact on the flight.
Following touchdown, the aircraft completed its rollout, aligning itself well with the runway centerline, which was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was successful, albeit with a few minor discrepancies, resulting in a respectable score of 97.6%. The total landing distance of 4,651 feet, which is approximately 44% of the runway length, indicated a relatively efficient landing process.
