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 6,130 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,130 ft of the 13,436 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,468 ft 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, a major airport in Cancún, Mexico. The takeoff distance was 4,893 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and winds of 3 knots at 109 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún and reached an altitude of 28,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,937 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 75 miles north of MMKA Holbox Airport in Kantunilkin, Mexico, and lasted for 144 minutes, covering a distance of 733 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles north of TX73 Big Brown Creek Airstrip in Fairfield, Texas, and descended from 27,798 feet to 4,022 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,776 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Krugerville, Texas, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Highland Village, Texas, and descended from 3,291 feet to 1,895 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,397 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, heading 180.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,477 feet, a touchdown speed of 131 knots, and a touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 66°F temperature and winds of 8 knots at 140 degrees.
The total landing distance was 5,875 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 956 nautical miles, taking 170 minutes, and the aircraft used 18,508 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
The aircraft's touchdown on the runway was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's altitude and airspeed to ensure a smooth and controlled landing. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain a stable airspeed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 1,477 feet was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and airspeed to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, resulting in a perfect runway touchdown alignment. This alignment is critical to ensuring a safe and controlled landing, as it allows the pilots to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 5,875 feet was 44% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and airspeed to ensure a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was a success, demonstrating the pilots' high level of proficiency in their approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was characterized by a good threshold height, a stable and controlled descent, and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions were favorable, and the pilots were able to maintain a stable and controlled approach despite the wind conditions.
