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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,041 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,989 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KBWI Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,113 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 58°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ferndale, Maryland, and ascending from 1,103 feet above sea level to 20,387 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,284 feet in 7 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of Roseland Airport in Sudlersville, Maryland, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Paruszewski Farm Strip in Salem, New Jersey, and ascending from 20,403 feet above sea level to 37,443 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,040 feet in 11 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Eltingville, New York, and lasting 14 minutes, covering 95 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead S.O.P. Airport in Germantown, New York, and the aircraft descended from 37,385 feet above sea level to 1,546 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,839 feet in 26 minutes and covering 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was made from the northwest, heading 156.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 8,041 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 608 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 144°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,150 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 367 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 7,021 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 156.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level.
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 141 knots. The touchdown point was located 608 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 21 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 144°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 4,150 feet was 52% of the available runway length of 8,041 feet. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have been a bit longer than desired. The runway rollout alignment was, however, very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.4%. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
