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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 329 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 29 at NFTF Fua’amotu International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 29, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,294 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and lifted off at 137 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 119°, no crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Malapo, rising from 1,022 ft asl to 30,674 ft asl, an increase of 29,652 ft achieved in 25 minutes while covering 202 nm.
Level cruise began 41 miles east of NFTV Vava’u International Airport and continued for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 127 nm.
Descent was initiated at latitude -16.5627295, longitude -172.10472, descending from 30,847 ft asl to 1,429 ft asl, a loss of 29,418 ft in 23 minutes and covering 154 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at NSTU Pago Pago International Airport was flown from the southwest on a heading of 59.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,385 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05 was executed on a runway 2,739 m long; the threshold speed was 127 kt, touchdown occurred 330 m down the runway at 119 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 184 fpm and perfect alignment; local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 4 kt from 109°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 780 m, representing 28 % of the runway, and the rollout maintained perfect alignment.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 489 nm, taking 67, and consumed 3,788 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 established the final approach to runway 05 at NSTU Pago Pago International Airport from the south-west, tracking a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,385 ft agl while the ambient temperature was 25 °C and the wind was 4 kt from 109°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height, though the threshold speed was slightly above target at 127 kt.
Touchdown occurred 330 m down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 119 kt that was a little fast and a touchdown rate of -184 fpm that was good; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 780 m, representing 28 % of the 2,739 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
To refine the already high 99.8 % score, reduce the approach and touchdown speeds toward their targets, which will further tighten the margin of safety and improve energy management.
