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 2,521 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at EKBI Billund Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,273 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 270 degrees.
The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind was 18 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Billund in Region Syddanmark, Denmark. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,248 feet above sea level to 33,122 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,875 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started overhead Ostenfeld in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 114 minutes and covered a distance of 438 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles west of Serfaus in Tirol, Austria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,307 feet above sea level to 2,064 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,243 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base was made from the east, heading 285.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,521 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 260 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,401 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 621 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 113 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,559 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, with a final approach score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 285.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,401 meters was 56% 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 maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with a high score and minimal deviations from the expected performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
