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 5,570 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,570 ft of the 13,337 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 553 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,980 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Morawica in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 21 minutes and covered 142 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,791 feet above sea level to 36,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,197 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Kemecse in Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg, Hungary. This cruise phase lasted 49 minutes and covered 389 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles southeast of Dalgopol in Varna, Bulgaria. The descent took 18 minutes and covered 92 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,549 feet above sea level to 2,910 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,639 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 24 miles northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy in Istanbul, Turkey. This cruise phase lasted only 4 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 12 miles north of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,929 feet above sea level to 1,493 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,436 feet.
The final approach to runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 560 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 46 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 5,298 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 653 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used 9,766 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 560 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°, also played a significant role in the successful landing. The crosswind component of 4 knots and the headwind component of 9 knots were well within the acceptable limits, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 5,298 feet, which is approximately 40% of the runway length, was also within the expected parameters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in their approach and landing procedures.
