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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,655 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,655 m of the 2,390 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, a movement that lasted 14 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36L, the takeoff run measured 1,613 m, representing 37 % of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 20 °C, wind 6 kt from 342°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Enroute climb commenced 2 miles west of Paracuellos de Jarama, climbing from 2,334 ft asl to 36,999 ft asl - an increase of 34,664 ft - achieved in 21 minutes while covering 136 nm.
The first level cruise began 5 miles north-east of Saceruela and persisted for 80 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 624 nm.
Descent operations started at latitude 30.7229263, longitude -12.1852333, descending from 36,529 ft asl to 7,940 ft asl - a loss of 28,589 ft - over 22 minutes and a distance of 129 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed, initiating 12 miles south-east of Costa Teguise and lasting 3 minutes while covering 13 nm.
The subsequent descent began 22 miles south-east of Arrecife, dropping from 7,866 ft asl to 1,304 ft asl - a decrease of 6,563 ft - in 7 minutes and spanning 29 nm.
Final approach to runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 27.0° at 4 nm and 1,255 ft agl, with a further descent from 1,298 ft agl to 18 ft agl completed in 89 seconds; the approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 03, which is 2,390 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 145 kt. Touchdown occurred 406 m down the runway at 142 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 197 fpm and a lateral deviation of 8.6 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 30 °C, wind 2 kt from 16°, with no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 1,574 m, representing 66 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly off centreline by 8.3 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 944 nm, took 149 minutes, and consumed 5,538 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered final approach to runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote from the south-west on a heading of 27.0° at 4 nm and 1,255 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the aircraft was more than 20 kt above VREF. Descent continued from 1,298 ft agl to 18 ft agl in 89 seconds and the flight was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 145 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 406 m, a touchdown speed of 142 kt that was a little fast, and a touchdown rate that was good at minus 197 fpm.
Touchdown occurred 406 m down the runway, meeting the distance target, while the speed of 142 kt was slightly above the ideal. Lateral alignment at touchdown was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,574 m, representing 66 % of the 2,390 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline.
Maintain a stabilized approach speed within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to eliminate the excess speed, and refine lateral control during flare and rollout to reduce centreline deviation. These adjustments will improve both the approach stability and runway alignment without compromising safety.
