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.

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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 397 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 737-900, then departed from runway 12 at EFJY Jyväskylä Airport in Finland. The takeoff distance was 1,028 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 119°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Jyväskylä Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 34 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 38,908 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,473 feet from the initial altitude of 1,435 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 261 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 9 miles north east of Podporozh'ye in Russia. This phase lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 668 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 11 miles south west of USPP Perm International Airport in Russia. The descent took 16 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 2,056 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,120 feet from the initial altitude of 39,175 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at USSS Koltsovo Airport in Russia was made from the east, with a heading of 274.0° at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 26L, which has a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 142 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 396 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,112 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 115 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,849 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at USSS Koltsovo Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 26L was conducted from the east, with a heading of 274.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 396 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 924 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained a stable and consistent alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good performance in terms of touchdown distance, speed, and alignment. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging weather conditions and achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown.
