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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 46 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (LICC), with a takeoff distance of 1,634 meters, which was 73% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of Catania, and climbed from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 37,547 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,526 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 46 miles northwest of Stromboli, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 782 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Welver, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and descended from 36,964 feet above sea level to 1,260 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,704 feet, in 31 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was made from the southwest, heading 58.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 48 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,232 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,037 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 169 minutes. The aircraft used 6,328 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 48 meters was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
