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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,107 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,107 m of the 3,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 894 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 28R at Dublin Airport, a movement that required 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,685 m, representing 64 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind from 179° at 5 kt, including a 5 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Dublin, with the airplane ascending from 1,204 ft asl to 34,994 ft asl, a gain of 33,790 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 116 nm.
Level cruise began about 1 mile west of Hoylake and was maintained for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 151 nm.
Descent was initiated roughly 3 miles north-east of Wells-next-the-Sea, with altitude decreasing from 35,002 ft asl to 1,326 ft asl, a loss of 33,676 ft completed in 28 minutes over a distance of 156 nm.
The final approach to runway 18R at Amsterdam Schiphol was flown from the north, on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft agl.
Landing on runway 18R, which is 3,526 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 62 ft agl that was above target and a threshold speed of 152 kt, slightly higher than planned. Touchdown was recorded 480 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 143 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 236 fpm and a lateral deviation of 12.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind from 170° at 10 kt, comprising a 2 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 2,028 m, representing 58 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off, with a centreline deviation of 14.9 m.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 434 nm, required 86 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,160 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM was flown from the north on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Ambient temperature was 15 °C, wind was 10 kt from 170°, providing a 10 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height of 62 ft agl was above the target and the threshold speed of 152 kt was slightly above the target. The aircraft continued the flare and transition to touchdown as planned.
Touchdown occurred 480 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 143 kt, noted as a little fast, and a fair vertical rate of minus 236 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 2,028 m, representing 58 % of the 3,526 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 m from the centreline as the aircraft decelerated along the runway.
Minor refinements should focus on achieving the target threshold height and speed to reduce the overshoot beyond the touchdown zone, and on tightening centreline alignment at touchdown and during rollout to bring the 12.1 m and 14.9 m deviations within tighter tolerances.
