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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,178 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 19R at LTAN Konya Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,185 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed out of LTAN Konya Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of the airport. The climb took 38 minutes to reach an altitude of 38,716 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,340 feet from the initial altitude of 4,375 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 245 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles northeast of Hanonu, Kastamonu, Turkey. This phase lasted for 296 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,238 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles south of Uchaly, Bashkortostan, Russia. The descent took 16 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,024 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,395 feet from the initial altitude of 39,419 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at USCC Chelyabinsk Balandino Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 104.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which has a length of 3,178 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 132 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 422 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 922 meters, which is 29% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,584 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 223 minutes. The aircraft used 8,209 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at USCC Chelyabinsk Balandino Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach to runway 09 was executed from the west, with a heading of 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft's altitude and speed throughout the approach.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the pilots may have been able to improve their control of the aircraft's descent.
Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had effectively aligned the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 170°, were also favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 922 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and altitude throughout the approach, and had made a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at USCC Chelyabinsk Balandino Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their approach and landing procedures. While there were a few areas where the landing could be improved, the overall performance of the aircraft was excellent, and the pilots were able to make a smooth and controlled touchdown.
