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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 4,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at USDD Salekhard Airport in Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,088 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 29°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Salekhard Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took 42 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 38,603 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,400 feet from the initial altitude of 1,203 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 303 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 39 miles northwest of Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia. This phase lasted for 55 minutes and covered a distance of 1,080 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 30 miles southwest of UABN Jeppesen Avia Club Airport Bakanas in Kazakhstan. The descent took 11 minutes to reach a final altitude of 3,516 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,945 feet from the cruising altitude.
The final approach to runway 23R at UAAA Almaty International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 236.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 337 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, and the touchdown rate was -158 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 339°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,555 meters, and the total flight distance was 1,454 nautical miles, taking a total of 113 minutes. The aircraft used 9,124 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at UAAA Almaty International Airport on runway 23R. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 236.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.7%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 337 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute was well within the acceptable limits.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 4.3 meters off the centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 339°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,555 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The minor deviation in the runway touchdown position was the only notable issue, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
