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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 258 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 29 at CYBG CFB Bagotville / Saguenay-Bagotville Airport. The takeoff distance was 856 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 279°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead CYBG CFB Bagotville / Saguenay-Bagotville Airport. The climb took 31 minutes and covered a distance of 182 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,531 feet above sea level to 38,757 feet above sea level, a total increase of 37,227 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 231 minutes and covered a distance of 2,060 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 9 miles southwest of Port-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 20 miles northeast of Belmullet, Connaught, Ireland. The descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,909 feet above sea level to 1,499 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 37,410 feet.
The final approach to runway 17 at EGAA Belfast International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 162.0° at an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 1,794 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was 260 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 759 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,367 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 279 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,022 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at EGAA Belfast International Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 17 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was still smooth at -109 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 759 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
