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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,681 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 area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 32 at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (KSRQ). The takeoff distance was 2,924 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Whitfield in Florida. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,046 feet above sea level to 14,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,949 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north of the town of Balm in Florida. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead the town of Bartow in Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 14,530 feet above sea level to 1,367 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,164 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0° at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 9,032 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 300 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 30 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 4,362 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft took 7 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 97 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 2,876 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. 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 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 300 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 126 kt was a little faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The landing performance was further affected by the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. This deviation from the optimal alignment may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment, which was off by 32 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 200°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind of 1 kt each.
The total landing distance of 4,362 feet was 48% of the available runway length of 9,032 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some deviations from the optimal performance, which may be addressed through further training and refinement of the aircraft's landing procedures.
