Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,098 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 136 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 28 at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,809 meters, which was 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Peraia, Central Macedonia, Greece. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,013 feet above sea level to 33,431 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,419 feet in just 21 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 109 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 6 miles northwest of Kriva Palanka, Macedonia, and lasted for 139 minutes, covering a distance of 828 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southwest of Roetgen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,567 feet above sea level to 1,855 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,712 feet in 23 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 62 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport was made from the northeast, heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,098 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 135 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 152 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -635 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, which was 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,007 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 174 minutes. The aircraft used 7,436 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport, with a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 152 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 135 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The runway length at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport is 2,098 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good touchdown distance and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -635 feet per minute.
