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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,676 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 313 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 10 at LTCB Ordu–Giresun Airport, where the Boeing 737-600 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,096 meters, which is 37% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of LTCB Ordu–Giresun Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,031 feet above sea level to 38,519 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,488 feet in just 32 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 214 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Khadyzhensk in Russia and lasted for 179 minutes. The cruise phase covered a distance of 1,167 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 19 miles southeast of Sindor in Russia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,011 feet above sea level to 1,756 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,255 feet in just 9 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 69 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at UUYH Ukhta Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 15.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 at UUYH Ukhta Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 121 knots and a touchdown distance of 312 meters, which is 28% of the runway. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 71 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,456 nautical miles, which was covered in 187 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,069 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at UUYH Ukhta Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 15.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 312 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal rate. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 71°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 758 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the precise and controlled manner in which the aircraft was handled during the landing phase.
