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 1,858 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,858 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at FMEE Roland Garros Airport, with a takeoff distance of 553 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead FMEE Roland Garros Airport Sainte-Marie, located in Reunion, Réunion. The climb took 17 minutes to reach an altitude of 36,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,936 feet from the initial altitude of 1,074 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 551 minutes and covered a distance of 2,623 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location defined by latitude -19.0933963 and longitude 55.5480804. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 21 miles southwest of Shinas, located in Al Batinah North Governorate, Oman. The descent took 15 minutes to reduce the altitude from 35,985 feet to 4,733 feet, a decrease of 31,252 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This phase took place 10 miles east of OMSH Sharjah Airport, located in Sharjah, Dubai. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, which was located to the southeast. The approach was made at a heading of 301.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and at an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 386 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 154°. There was no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,768 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,791 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 395 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,770 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Dubai International Airport's runway 30L, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 386 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 154°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging-free. The total landing distance of 1,768 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The high score of 99.4% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a safe and controlled landing.
