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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,471 meters, which was 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, with no crosswind but a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Brockley, North Somerset, England, rising from 1,465 feet above sea level to 6,137 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,671 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles south west of Clevedon, North Somerset, England, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft continued its climb, this time from 6,200 feet above sea level to 33,855 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,656 feet in 16 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles, as it passed overhead Easter Compton, South Gloucestershire, England.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Wrotham, Kent, England, lasting 36 minutes and covering 274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,026 feet above sea level to 36,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,964 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles, as it passed 1 mile north of Morbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The enroute level cruise continued overhead Hirschhorn, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, lasting 27 minutes and covering 207 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 5 miles north east of Sluderno, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, descending from 37,008 feet above sea level to 8,962 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,046 feet in 17 minutes, covering 101 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile east of Cartura, Veneto, Italy, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, this time from 8,665 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,369 feet in 11 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles, as it passed 2 miles east of Lusia, Veneto, Italy.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was made from the south west, heading 42.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 435 meters, a touchdown speed of 129 knots, and a touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a 1-knot tailwind and a 1-knot crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 787 nautical miles, taking 130 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,560 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 04R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,001 meters was only 30% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a short distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
