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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,659 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 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 area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26 at PAJN Juneau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,017 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead the Juneau Seaplane Base, where the enroute climb began. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,082 feet above sea level to 38,921 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,839 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 187 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 7 miles west of the Loring Seaplane Base and lasted for 77 minutes, covering a distance of 1,196 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 3 miles southeast of the Ryder airport in North Dakota and lasted for 10 minutes. During this period, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,025 feet above sea level to 2,940 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,085 feet, and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13 at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 138.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 272 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 50 degrees.
The total landing distance was 757 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,462 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used 8,579 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the northwest, with a heading of 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold speed of 123 knots being achieved, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 272 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more gradual descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach path. The total landing distance of 757 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing and had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and experience in navigating the aircraft through the approach and landing phases of flight.
