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 2,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-800 from KRNO Reno/Tahoe Intl to KLGB Long Beach/Daugherty Field covered a total distance of 377nm. The taxi from the parking to the runway at KRNO Reno/Tahoe Intl took 18 minutes to cover 4nm. The departure roll on runway 17R covered 1,700m, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. The local weather at departure included a temperature of 18°C and a 2 knot wind at 177°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of KRNO Reno/Tahoe Intl, climbing from 5,439 ft asl to 37,827 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 134nm. The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southeast of Coarsegold, lasting 16 minutes and covering 119nm. The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Valley Acres, descending from 37,940 ft asl to 1,811 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 112nm.
The landing on runway 30 at KLGB Long Beach/Daugherty Field had a runway length of 2,026m. The height at threshold was 20 ft agl and the speed at threshold was 135 knots. The touchdown occurred 367m from the threshold at a speed of 131 knots with a VSI of -281 ft/min. The local weather at landing included a temperature of 28°C and a 6 knot wind at 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,354m, which was 67% of the runway.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes to cover less than 1nm. The total flight duration was 99 minutes and 3,210 kg of fuel was used throughout the flight.
First, let's acknowledge the positive aspects of the aircraft landing score of 98.2%. The Approach Phase of the landing was particularly impressive, with excellent glideslope alignment and the aircraft maintaining a slightly below target speed. This shows great precision and control during the initial stages of the landing process.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the pilot displayed skill and expertise in executing the touchdown. The good threshold height and great landing flare indicate a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway. Additionally, the landing speed being on target, and the touchdown distance falling inside the touchdown zone, demonstrate a high level of accuracy.
However, it is important to address the fact that the aircraft landed with a 5 kn tailwind. Landing with a tailwind can be challenging and may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate. It is crucial for pilots to consider and compensate for such factors to ensure a safe landing.
During the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft being 5.7 m from the centerline. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is essential for taxiing and can impact overall runway safety.
Overall, while the landing score is commendable at 98.2%, there are areas for improvement, such as avoiding tailwind landings and ensuring precise runway alignment during rollout. By continuing to practice and refine skills, the pilot can strive for even higher levels of accuracy and safety in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to prioritize safe and efficient landings in all flight operations.
