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 8,700 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 8,700 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 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 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing B737-800, then departed from runway 17R at KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 8,251 feet, which was 92% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered 106 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 5,402 feet above sea level to 35,026 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,624 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 16 miles west of 32BU DOCILF Buffalo Valley. This phase lasted 58 minutes and covered 495 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead KSBS Steamboat Springs Bob Adams Field Steamboat Springs. The descent took 20 minutes and covered 113 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,002 feet above sea level to 9,025 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,977 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles east of Foxfield. This phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south east of 34CO Simons Airport Aurora. The descent took 3 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 9,005 feet above sea level to 6,552 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,452 feet.
The final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,196 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 2,193 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 34R, with the runway length being 12,040 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 155 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 257 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 154 knots. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -726 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees.
The total landing distance was 8,470 feet, which was 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 757 nautical miles, taking 134 minutes, and the aircraft used 14,223 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing B737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,196 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 155 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 154 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 257 feet was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The touchdown rate of -726 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant amount of deceleration upon touchdown. This could be attributed to the aircraft's speed being slightly above the target threshold speed. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°F and no wind. The crosswind, headwind, and tailwind components were all zero knots, which contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 8,470 feet was 70% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, the slightly above-target threshold speed and heavy touchdown rate may require further attention to ensure optimal landing performance.
