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 10,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,734 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 34R at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 4,728 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KSEA, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KSEA and continued to an altitude of 36,969 feet above sea level (asl), an increase of 35,542 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Ryderwood, Washington. This phase lasted for 56 minutes and covered a distance of 393 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 11 miles northwest of the Diamond M Ranch Airport in Elk Creek, California. The descent from 36,983 feet asl to 5,471 feet asl took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Orinda, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles southwest of Moraga, California, and the aircraft descended from 4,999 feet asl to 3,939 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Fairview, California, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles west of Union City, California, and the aircraft descended from 2,725 feet asl to 1,296 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) was made from the southeast, heading 310.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 30, which has a length of 10,511 feet. The threshold speed was good at 134 knots, and the touchdown point was 365 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,590 feet, which is 34% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 616 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used 9,860 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (KOAK) on runway 30, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 310.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was located 365 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,590 feet was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
