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.

Side view — the last 1,833 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,833 m of the 2,753 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 268 m touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,222 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 250°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Detroit, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,689 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,073 feet, an increase of 31,384 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 33,491 feet to 36,419 feet, an increase of 2,928 feet, in just 2 minutes. This climb was followed by another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a third enroute climb, which took it from an altitude of 37,061 feet to 38,017 feet, an increase of 956 feet, in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft then entered a long period of level cruise, which lasted for 70 minutes and covered a distance of 568 nautical miles. This cruise took place over the state of Ohio, with the aircraft passing overhead several small airfields and towns. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 7 miles southwest of Macclenny, Florida, and took it from an altitude of 39,362 feet to 5,239 feet, a decrease of 34,123 feet, in 19 minutes.
The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which took it from an altitude of 4,722 feet to 1,400 feet, a decrease of 3,322 feet, in just 6 minutes. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport, flying from the south and heading 0.0° at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 270 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 320°.
The total landing distance was 1,755 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.0 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 866 nautical miles, and the flight used 5,161 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 35R at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading directly towards the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 142 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 270 meters.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 137 knots, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall ride quality for passengers.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,755 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed a smooth and efficient landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 19 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's reaction to the wind conditions or other factors.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
