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 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,912 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (KVPS) and took off with a takeoff distance of 3,910 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 329°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,113 feet above sea level to 36,983 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,870 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,281 feet above sea level to 5,158 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,122 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles west of Rural Hill in Tennessee and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from 4,990 feet above sea level to 1,831 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,159 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20L at Nashville International Airport (KBNA) was made from the north, heading 198.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20L was made with a runway length of 8,006 feet. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 565 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -50 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 149°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 4,352 feet, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 48 feet from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 356 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 7,550 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport on runway 20L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 91.0%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was slightly above the target threshold height at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots, indicating that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than expected. The touchdown point was 565 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was faster than the target speed.
Despite the slightly above-target threshold height and the fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was perfect at -50 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 149°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold height and the fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 4,352 feet, which was 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not unusual for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 48 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The aircraft's performance during the landing was good, but there were some deviations from the target values. The wind conditions and the aircraft's heading may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold height and the fast touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate was perfect, and the total landing distance was within acceptable limits.
