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 1,986 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,986 m of the 2,747 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 674 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 15-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 3 nm. The departure took place on runway 16R at KSLC Salt Lake City Intl, with a takeoff distance of 1,585 m (43% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 147 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 28°C with a wind of 11 kn at 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 11 kn.
After departing from KSLC, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of the airport and climbed from 5,253 ft asl to 34,711 ft asl, covering a distance of 77 nm in 14 minutes. The enroute level cruise then started 16 miles northeast of Wendover and lasted 30 minutes, covering 186 nm.
As the flight continued, the enroute descent began 25 miles south of KWMC Winnemucca Muni Winnemucca, descending from 34,655 ft asl to 7,395 ft asl over a distance of 103 nm in 22 minutes. The landing occurred on runway 17R at KRNO Reno/Tahoe Intl, with a runway length of 2,747 m. The touchdown was 674 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 120 kn and a vertical speed indicator of -267 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,907 m, 69% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 382 nm, taking 108 minutes, and using 3,276 kg of fuel.
Great job on achieving an overall aircraft landing score of 86.0%! Let's dive deeper into the different phases of the landing to see where improvements can be made.
During the Approach Phase, it's notable that the glideslope alignment was excellent, which suggests good control and precision during the descent. Additionally, having the speed slightly below target can be seen as a positive aspect, as it indicates a cautious approach to ensure a safe landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's important to address the areas that need improvement. While having a good threshold height is commendable, the poor landing flare and heading indicate a need for better control and coordination during the final moments before touchdown. Ensuring a smooth and controlled descent will help in improving these aspects.
In the Touchdown Phase, the firm touchdown rate may indicate a need for a softer landing to reduce wear and tear on the aircraft. However, it's great to see that the speed was on target. The touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being off-centre suggest a need for better alignment and precision during the landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, having the runway alignment slightly off-centre could be improved by focusing on maintaining straight alignment and control throughout the rollout.
Overall, this landing performance shows many positive aspects, such as good glideslope alignment and on-target speed. By working on areas such as the landing flare, touchdown alignment, and rollout precision, the landing score can be further improved. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of aircraft operations!
