Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 5.9 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 6.5°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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.

Side view — the last 1,864 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,864 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 18 at Winnipeg's James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,654 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots.
As the flight progressed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13°C and wind speeds of 22 knots at 249°. The crosswind was 19 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,800 feet above sea level to 32,699 feet, an increase of 30,899 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southeast of Minnedosa, Manitoba, and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 402 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 14 miles east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, where it ascended from 33,762 feet to 35,946 feet, an increase of 2,184 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 15 miles northwest of Bow Island, Alberta, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 337 nautical miles. As the flight continued, the enroute descent started 13 miles north of Princeton, British Columbia, where the aircraft descended from 36,135 feet to 2,927 feet, a decrease of 33,208 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 8 miles northeast of Silva Bay, British Columbia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 8 miles west of Vancouver International Airport, where the aircraft descended from 2,523 feet to 1,260 feet, a decrease of 1,263 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,239 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 2,803 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 156 knots.
The touchdown point was 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 149 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 1 knot at 31°.
The total landing distance was 1,790 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,029 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 85 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7,192 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08L, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 156 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 204 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been influenced by the slightly fast touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 31°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, with both being 1 knot. The total landing distance of 1,790 meters was 64% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
