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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,907 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,907 m of the 3,626 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The Boeing 737-800 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,481 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 180°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of SeaTac. The climb started from an altitude of 1,365 feet above sea level and reached a height of 4,597 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,232 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles during this climb phase.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 2 miles southeast of Des Moines. The descent started from an altitude of 4,608 feet above sea level and ended at 1,340 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,268 feet in 4 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 34R at KSEA was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0° at an altitude of 889 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 3,626 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 129 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 356 meters, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -325 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 180°, with a tailwind component of 4 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 578 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34R, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 889 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown distance of 356 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessive, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 3,626 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,828 meters, which was approximately 50% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.4%.
