Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to track the centreline.
What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline during the landing roll.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings aligned with the runway centreline
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,707 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,707 m of the 2,939 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Edinburgh Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 24, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 209 °. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 154 kt, using 1,082 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Newbridge, Scotland, and began its ascent from 1,130 feet above sea level to 5,604 feet. This climb phase was completed in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 5,604 feet for 6 minutes as it covered 30 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching its maximum cruising altitude of 34,903 feet above sea level after a climb phase that began 2 miles north of Saline, Scotland. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 32 minutes and covering 274 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, it passed 27 miles west of Rjukan, Norway, and started its descent from 34,997 feet above sea level to 10,002 feet. This phase was completed in 12 minutes, covering 87 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent into the airport. The aircraft landed on runway 19L, using 1,640 meters, or 56% of the runway, and touched down at a speed of 136 kt. The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 607 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,430 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 19L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,324 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the heading of 196.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed was also within the acceptable range at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was located 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute was within the desired parameters, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a 5-knot wind at 170°, contributed to a relatively calm environment. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,640 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.7%. The minor deviations in touchdown position and landing distance were offset by the good approach quality, threshold speed, and touchdown characteristics.
