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 5,508 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,508 ft of the 11,703 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,304 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 17R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,485 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 72°F and winds of 2 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Lonate Pozzolo, Lombardia, Italy, and reached an altitude of 35,089 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,406 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of San Pietro di Feletto, Veneto, Italy, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,080 feet to 38,194 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,114 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Trbovlje, Slovenia.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Ivanec, Varazdin, Croatia, and descended from 38,243 feet to 35,055 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,188 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time from 1 mile northwest of LDVK Koprivnica Danic Airfield, Koprivnica-Krizevci, Croatia, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 413 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Secuieni, Neamt, Romania, and descended from 35,100 feet to 2,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,279 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time from 1 mile northwest of Dancu, Hincesti, Moldova, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LUKK Chişinău International Airport from the west, heading 88.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08, which had a length of 11,703 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,301 feet, but the touchdown speed was fast at 151 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -546 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 90 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 98 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 64°F and winds of 3 knots at 189°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 5,263 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 840 nautical miles, taking 138 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,462 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at LUKK Chişinău International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 81.4% on its final approach, indicating a decent performance but room for improvement. The approach was made from the west, heading 88.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 08, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 151 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 1,301 feet was considered good. Unfortunately, the touchdown speed was fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -546 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent, which could be a concern for future flights.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 90 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to a variety of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance issues. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 64°F and winds of 3 knots at 189°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind was even weaker at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 5,263 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 98 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-centre.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas that need improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and rate, improving the runway touchdown position, and ensuring better runway rollout alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
