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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 11L at KTUS Tucson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,904 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 85°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of KTUS Tucson International Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,684 feet above sea level to 30,099 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,415 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 26 minutes and covered a distance of 186 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place 1 mile east of the 17AZ East Valley ER. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles southeast of the AZ97 X Bar 1 Ranch Lower Airport Kingman. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,120 feet above sea level to 3,361 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,759 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The landing on runway 26L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 358 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 128 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,587 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 323 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 5,979 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 26L was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 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 128 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 358 feet was within acceptable limits.
The landing distance of 2,587 feet was 25% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 10,506 feet. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a light wind of 3 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown parameters.
