Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.2 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.2 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 157 kt, 15 kt above 142 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,843 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,843 m of the 2,507 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 903 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21 at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,646 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots blowing from the west. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Lautzenhausen, a town in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,659 feet above sea level to 34,030 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south west of Bad Salzschlirf, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany. This phase lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 471 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles south east of Kolno, a town in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 155 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,868 feet to 1,915 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 201.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,507 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 157 knots.
The touchdown point was 486 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -378 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots blowing from the south west. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,761 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 727 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,368 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EYVI Vilnius International Airport, with a score of 86.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 19, which has a length of 2,507 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 157 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than necessary. The touchdown point was located 486 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than the target, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -378 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,761 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for aircraft to land beyond the touchdown zone, especially in windy conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the threshold height. However, the aircraft's performance was still within acceptable limits, and the landing was considered safe and controlled.
