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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,031 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from East Midlands Airport (EGNX), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey down runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 155 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,444 m, which covered 56% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 °C, with a wind of 10 kt at 290°, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,284 ft asl to 34,442 ft asl, it covered a distance of 148 nm in 22 minutes, achieving an increase of 33,158 ft. The enroute climb phase started 1 mile south west of Castle Donington, before transitioning into a level cruise at 5 miles north east of Aldeburgh, where it maintained a steady altitude for 135 minutes, covering 1,086 nm. The aircraft then began its descent from 34,977 ft asl to 13,082 ft asl, a decrease of 21,895 ft in 17 minutes, covering 114 nm. Following a brief level cruise near Kefallinia Airport, the aircraft continued its descent, eventually touching down on runway 34 at Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos.
The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 345.0° at 4 nm and 1,319 ft agl. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 388 m and a touchdown speed of 135 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,384 m, covering 76% of the available runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,411 nm, with a total flight time of 200 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,285 kg.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 34 at LGZA Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 140 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -148 fpm at a speed of 135 kt. The touchdown distance of 388 m was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway, and the aircraft began its rollout. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.7 m, and the rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre by 8.6 m. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,384 m, which accounted for 76% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance. Overall, the landing was scored 96.5%, reflecting the minor deviations from the centreline during the rollout phase. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth touchdown and good threshold speed, but there was room for improvement in maintaining a more precise alignment during the rollout.
