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 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 998 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 219 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,373 feet above sea level to 30,488 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,115 feet. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Bad Salzungen, a town in the state of Thuringia, Germany, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Tollwitz, a town in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,484 feet above sea level to 1,471 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,013 feet. The final approach to runway 07L at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (EDDB) was made from the southwest, heading 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 07L at EDDB was successful, with a touchdown distance of 454 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -263 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 129 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 241 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 2,589 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 07L, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 132 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 454 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 129°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have significantly impacted the landing, with the aircraft maintaining a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,197 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of touchdown distance, speed, and alignment. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance was excellent, and the aircraft was able to stop safely and efficiently on the runway.
