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 2,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHRD Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,416 meters, which is 79% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 23 knots at 280°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 34,063 feet above sea level (asl) in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Overschie, a location in the province of Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 216 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 1 mile west of Radevormwald, a location in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,103 feet asl to 35,111 feet asl, an increase of 1,008 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Berg im Gau, a location in the state of Bavaria, Germany.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. This cruise phase started overhead Hettenshausen, a location in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,882 feet asl to 36,845 feet asl, an increase of 963 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Eiselfing, a location in the state of Bavaria, Germany.
The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 2 miles north-east of Gstadt am Chiemsee, a location in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The descent was from 36,870 feet asl to 36,041 feet asl, a decrease of 830 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 101 minutes and covered a distance of 772 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 2 miles south-west of Inzell, a location in the state of Bavaria, Germany.
The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 9 miles south-east of AG13 Amphibious Ready Group - Greece, a location in Central Greece, Greece. The descent was from 35,958 feet asl to 1,645 feet asl, a decrease of 34,313 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LGKO Kos Airport was from the north-west, with a heading of 148.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 216 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 150 knots, while the touchdown rate was heavy at -617 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LGKO Kos Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 148.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 150 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 216 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,202 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a smooth rollout. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -617 feet per minute (fpm). Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
