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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,659 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 737-700, then departed from runway 29L at KFAT Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,347 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of KFAT Fresno Yosemite International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,366 feet above sea level to 39,354 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,988 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of 2Q6 Coaldale Coaldale Junction in Nevada, and it lasted for 71 minutes, covering a distance of 527 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 12 miles northeast of 0CO2 Crested Butte Airpark in Colorado, where it descended from 39,374 feet above sea level to 9,000 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,374 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 3 miles southeast of Fort Lupton in Colorado and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of 1CD2 Tonga Airport in Platteville, Colorado, where the aircraft descended from 8,853 feet above sea level to 7,981 feet above sea level, a decrease of 872 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of 18V Platte Valley Hudson in Colorado and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16L at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the north, heading 181.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16L at KDEN Denver International Airport was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 301 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 34 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,551 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 780 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 133 minutes. The aircraft used 9,793 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 16L was initiated from the north, with a heading of 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, registering at 134 kt. However, the touchdown point was located 301 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm), which was deemed fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 5 kt from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 4,551 feet was 38% of the available runway length of 12,040 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline, which may have resulted from a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed, the aircraft's approach and landing were generally stable and controlled, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated to be proficient.
