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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven 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 4,104 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The takeoff distance was 972 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Castle Donington, Leicestershire, England, and reached an altitude of 38,909 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 37,583 feet in 44 minutes, covering a distance of 334 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Nettancourt, Grand Est, France, and lasted for 281 minutes, covering a distance of 2,639 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles northwest of Das Island Airport, Das Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and descended from 38,666 feet asl to 3,039 feet asl in 14 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles.
Following the initial descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles northwest of Abu Dhabi and lasting only 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The second descent began 7 miles north of Abu Dhabi and saw the aircraft descend from 2,984 feet asl to 1,348 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at Zayed International Airport (OMAA) was made from the northwest, heading 128.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 13R, which had a length of 4,104 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 450 meters, and the touchdown speed at 118 knots was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50°.
The total landing distance was 919 meters, accounting for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,089 nautical miles, taking 327 minutes, and the aircraft used 16,647 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 13R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 128.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 128 kt, but still within a safe margin. The touchdown distance of 450 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The touchdown speed of 118 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.7 meters off the centerline. This may be due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 35°C, and a light wind of 3 kt at 50°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 919 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down and stop effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to achieve a high score. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the slightly above-target threshold speed are areas that could be improved upon in future landings.
