Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 104 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,170 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 4 knots. After departing from KSFO, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,040 feet above sea level to 32,912 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 113 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, resulting in an increase of 31,872 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Foresthill, California. This phase lasted for 239 minutes and covered a distance of 500 nautical miles. The enroute descent began approximately 1 mile northeast of Skidmo Airport (33WY) in Etna, Wyoming, where the aircraft descended from 32,876 feet above sea level to 7,748 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 30 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, resulting in a decrease of 25,129 feet.
The final approach to runway 01 at Jackson Hole Airport (KJAC) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 19.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,327 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots and a touchdown distance of 105 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 9 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 950 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,314 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 19.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,327 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 133 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 105 meters, and the touchdown speed of 133 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -230 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cold, with a temperature of -16°C, and a moderate headwind of 12 knots from a direction of 9°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which helped to reduce the impact of the headwind.
The total landing distance of 950 meters was within 49% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centreline.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated to be high. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
