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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,779 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,883 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.71 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 08R at KATL, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08R, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 6,546 ft, representing 66 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 78 °F with a wind of 1 kt from 10°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Hapeville, Georgia, with the airplane climbing from 1,402 ft asl to 35,999 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,597 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 122 nm.
Cruise began approximately 1 mile southeast of KSCD Merkel Field, Sylacauga, Alabama, and was maintained for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 163 nm.
Descent was initiated about 7 miles southeast of Citronelle, Alabama, with a reduction from 35,492 ft asl to 1,260 ft asl, a loss of 34,232 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 126 nm.
The final approach to runway 29 at KMSY was flown from the east on a heading of 286.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 ft agl, followed by a descent from 1,279 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 96 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 29 at KMSY was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt, a touchdown point 507 ft beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 130 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 162 fpm. The touchdown was offset by 27 ft from the centreline; runway length is 9,779 ft, and the total landing distance recorded was 3,957 ft, equal to 40 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 80 °F with a wind of 1 kt from 319°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 1 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 35 ft, consistent with the previously noted touchdown offset, and the aircraft decelerated within the recorded landing distance.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that required 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 422 nm, took 78 minutes, and consumed 7,358 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 29 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 286.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high. Descent was recorded from 1,279 ft AGL to 30 ft AGL in 96 seconds.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and achieved a threshold speed of 140 kt, both rated as good.
Touchdown occurred 507 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 130 kt, rated good, and a vertical rate of minus 162 fpm, also rated good. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 ft from the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 3,957 ft, representing 40 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 ft from the centreline.
To improve the overall score, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate, and work on maintaining centreline alignment through touchdown and rollout.
