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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 217 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 26R at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 1,446 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 40°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Paradise, Nevada, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,182 feet above sea level to 39,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,970 feet in 43 minutes, covering a distance of 314 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Newcomb, New Mexico. This phase lasted for 167 minutes, covering a distance of 1,452 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles south of Weber City, Virginia, and descended from an altitude of 38,629 feet above sea level to 2,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,628 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of VG33 Bull Farm Airport Cape Charles, Virginia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles southwest of VG33 Bull Farm Airport Cape Charles, Virginia, and descended from an altitude of 1,979 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 674 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Norfolk International Airport (KORF) was made from the northeast, heading 218.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 23, which had a length of 2,438 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 215 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 219°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 756 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,895 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 237 minutes. The aircraft used 9,887 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Norfolk International Airport, with a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 218.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,438 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 215 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 219°. The crosswind component was negligible, but there was a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 756 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and minimal deviations from the desired parameters.
