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 2,114 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,114 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 495 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 22 at London Stansted Airport, with the Boeing 737-800 aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,921 meters, which is 70% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 182 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Birchanger, Essex, England, and reached an altitude of 3,757 feet above sea level, increasing by 2,439 feet in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, England, for 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The flight continued with another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile east of Great Leighs, Essex, England, and reaching an altitude of 5,654 feet above sea level, increasing by 1,881 feet in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying overhead Layer de la Haye, Essex, England, for 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The next significant phase of the flight was the enroute climb, which started 1 mile south-west of Thorpe le Soken, Essex, England, and reached an altitude of 35,229 feet above sea level, increasing by 29,566 feet in 18 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Schiebroek, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, for 27 minutes and covering 211 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent, beginning 1 mile north-east of Bad Orb, Hessen, Germany, and descending from 35,356 feet above sea level to 3,906 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,451 feet in 32 minutes and covering 189 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying overhead Chvateruby, Stredocesky kraj, Czech Republic, for 4 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Václav Havel Airport Prague began with a descent from 3,919 feet above sea level to 2,462 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,458 feet in 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then made a final approach to runway 24 from the north-east, heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 148 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 200 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,034 meters, which is 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 577 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 3,914 kilograms of fuel
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 148 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was also 9 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment.
In terms of the landing distance, the aircraft traveled a total of 2,034 meters, which is approximately 55% of the runway length. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, considering the touchdown speed and the runway length.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 95.9%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including the touchdown speed and the runway touchdown position.
