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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,172 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,320 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 17R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL). The takeoff distance was 3,962 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and winds of 8 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 28,566 feet above sea level (asl) in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. This climb started overhead the Colombier-Saugnieu area, near Lyon.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles. This cruise phase started overhead the Les Salles area, also in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent from a height of 28,672 feet asl to 1,430 feet asl. This descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile northeast of Oradour-sur-Vayres, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.
The final approach to runway 23 at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (LFBD) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 225.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and winds of 11 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,319 feet. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 118 knots, at 120 knots. The touchdown rate was good, at -160 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 18 feet.
The total landing distance was 3,296 feet, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 266 nautical miles and took 67 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 5,561 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 23 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 120 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 118 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,319 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a stable and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 18 feet, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path to improve accuracy. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 3,296 feet was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
