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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,528 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,528 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,874 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13R at KSAT San Antonio International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,007 feet, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 140°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSAT San Antonio International Airport. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,795 feet above sea level to 23,066 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,271 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles southwest of Waelder, Texas. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 3 miles southwest of 1T1 2 G Ranch Columbus, Texas. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 61 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 22,973 feet above sea level to 6,565 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,407 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Hilshire Village, Texas. This cruise phase lasted for 19 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 2 miles south of Dayton, Texas. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 5,017 feet above sea level to 1,381 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,635 feet.
The final approach to runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which has a length of 8,988 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 524 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,277 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 215 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 7,776 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 26R was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 524 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 137 kt. The touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a relatively smooth landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline, which may have been caused by factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 5,277 feet was 59% of the available runway length of 8,988 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may have been caused by the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
