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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 08R at KATL, a movement that lasted 69 minutes and covered 6 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 08R at KATL, using 1,565 m of runway (51 % of the available length) and achieving liftoff at 155 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind from 070° at 18 kt, providing a 16 kt headwind component and a 6 kt crosswind.
Climb began overhead Hapeville, Georgia, with the airplane ascending from 1,944 ft MSL to 37,997 ft MSL, a gain of 36,054 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 158 nm.
The first cruise segment started approximately 1 nm southwest of Vance, Alabama, and was maintained for 62 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 473 nm.
Descent commenced 2 nm south of KEYQ Weiser Air Park, Houston, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 37,999 ft MSL to 5,984 ft MSL, a loss of 32,015 ft over 25 minutes and a distance of 150 nm.
A brief cruise followed overhead Timberwood Park, Texas, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The next descent began 3 nm west of 9TX5 Camp Bullis ALS Airport, San Antonio, Texas, with the airplane descending from 5,999 ft MSL to 2,029 ft MSL, a reduction of 3,970 ft in 5 minutes over 15 nm.
The final approach to runway 13R at KSAT was flown from the northwest on a heading of 132.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,213 ft AGL.
Touchdown occurred on runway 13R, which is 2,590 m long, with a threshold speed of 149 kt and a touchdown speed of 144 kt, noted as a little fast. The aircraft landed 343 m down the runway, a distance reported as good, with a vertical speed of minus 219 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.2 m from the centreline. Local weather at KSAT was 36 °C with wind from 112° at 9 kt, giving an 8 kt headwind component and a 3 kt crosswind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,370 m, representing 53 % of the runway, and the runway touchdown height was reported as good.
Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, and the aircraft decelerated to a stop within the remaining runway length.
After landing, the Boeing 737-800 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 814 nm, required 134 minutes of airborne time, and reported fuel consumption of 0 kg.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 13R at KSAT from the north-west on a heading of 132.0 ° while 4 nm out and 1,213 ft AGL, with a temperature of 36 °C, wind 9 kt from 112 °, a 3 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 149 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 343 m, although touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 kt and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 219 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline.
At touchdown the aircraft touched down 343 m down the runway at a speed of 144 kt, a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 219 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 4.2 m to the right of the centreline.
Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 1,370 m, representing 53 % of the 2,590 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already strong performance, focus on adjusting the flare to reduce touchdown speed and vertical rate, and fine-tune the final alignment to bring the touchdown point closer to the centreline.
