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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,320 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBNA Nashville International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 02L, utilizing 4,029 feet of the available runway, which equated to 52% of the total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots, and with a local temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, the conditions were favorable for takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from KBNA, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,486 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 39,009 feet, an increase of 37,523 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 52 minutes and covered 431 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent 14 miles west of Palm Harbor, Florida. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 38,994 feet to 1,284 feet, a decrease of 37,710 feet, in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, heading 54.0° at an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 3,706 feet of the available length, which equated to 31% of the total runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 123 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 685 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,867 pounds of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 113 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 128 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,327 ft was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 123 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a moderate touchdown rate of -190 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path or a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75 °F, were conducive to a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 3,706 ft, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft tracking very close to the centreline. This demonstrated the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing, and to smoothly transition from the touchdown to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.4%, reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
