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.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,591 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,591 ft of the 6,491 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 901 ft 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,252 feet, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°F, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Bensenville, Illinois, and climbing from 1,746 feet above sea level to 31,138 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,392 feet in 15 minutes and covering 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of MI31 Cornish Field Lawton, Michigan, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Vicksburg, Michigan, and climbing from 31,139 feet above sea level to 35,067 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,928 feet in 5 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Hanover, Michigan, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 3 miles east of Napoleon, Michigan, and climbing from 35,053 feet above sea level to 36,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,922 feet in 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead KYIP Willow Run Airport Detroit, Michigan, and lasted 32 minutes, covering 277 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northwest of KJEY Jersey Shore Airport Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, and descending from 36,675 feet above sea level to 640 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,035 feet in 30 minutes and covering 154 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was from the east, heading 272.0° at 2 nautical miles and 604 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 908 feet and a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 36°F, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 293°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 5,320 feet, which is 82% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 633 nautical miles, taking 113 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,459 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 272.0° at an altitude of 604 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -432 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 908 feet was within the acceptable range, but the slightly faster touchdown speed may have affected the overall landing performance.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 5 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 16 knots at 293°, contributed to the crosswind. The headwind component of 15 knots helped to reduce the crosswind effect, but the aircraft still experienced a slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 5,320 feet was 82% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The slightly faster touchdown speed and harder touchdown rate may have been due to the crosswind and headwind conditions. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
