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 5,861 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,861 ft of the 7,089 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,015 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at KHOU William P Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas. The takeoff distance was 1,698 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. After departing from KHOU, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and ascending from 1,092 feet above sea level to 37,116 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 159 nautical miles and took 23 minutes.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 540 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 27.7053355 and a longitude of -93.224359. After the cruise phase, the aircraft started its enroute descent, which began 25 miles southwest of Jose Maria Morelos in Mexico. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,050 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 07 at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 77.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 644 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,590 feet, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 834 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes. The aircraft used 11,983 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 644 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 80°F and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The runway length of 7,089 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 5,590 feet, or 79% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of approach and landing technique.
