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 2,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04 at NTAA Faa'a International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,811 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 45 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Papeete, Iles du Vent, French Polynesia. The climb from 1,027 feet above sea level to 33,846 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,820 feet, took 34 minutes and covered 237 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 114 miles northwest of NTGV Mataiva Airport, Mataiva, Iles Tuamotu-Gambier, French Polynesia, and lasted for 182 minutes, covering 2,068 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 34 miles south of PHNY Lanai Airport, Lanai City, Hawaii, United States, and the aircraft descended from 34,139 feet above sea level to 3,178 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,961 feet, in 10 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again 12 miles south of Ocean Pointe, Hawaii, United States, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent began 5 miles south of Ocean Pointe, and the aircraft descended from 2,986 feet above sea level to 1,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,684 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 53.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04R was successful, with a touchdown point 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -194 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 981 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 2,412 nautical miles, taking 238 minutes, and the aircraft used 16,712 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 04R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 53.0° at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 137 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 50°.
The total landing distance of 981 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating 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.
