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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,529 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The takeoff distance was 1,477 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6°C and wind speeds of 3 knots at 29°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ferney-Voltaire in France. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,360 feet above sea level to 32,491 feet, an increase of 30,130 feet. The distance covered during this period was 107 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Prunieres in France. This cruise phase lasted for 94 minutes and covered a distance of 692 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles north of Almogia in Spain. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 33,295 feet to 3,572 feet, a decrease of 29,722 feet. The distance covered during this period was 126 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 9 miles southeast of Manilva in Spain. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles northeast of Gibraltar. The descent took 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,211 feet to 1,245 feet, a decrease of 1,966 feet. The distance covered during this period was 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport (LXGB) was made from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,225 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,529 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 300 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -181 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and wind speeds of 16 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 1,074 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 948 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 151 minutes. The aircraft used 6,540 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Gibraltar Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 300 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 16 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,074 meters was 70% 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 was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the approach and landing.
