Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
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 5,050 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,050 ft of the 8,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,407 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 15 at KBTV Burlington International Airport in 19 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 15, the aircraft used 5,688 ft of runway, representing 69 % of the available length, and lifted off at 155 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 89 °F, wind from 189° at 4 kt, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-east of KBTV, climbing from 1,307 ft asl to 9,928 ft asl, an increase of 8,621 ft achieved in 3 minutes while covering 14 nm.
Level cruise commenced 2 miles east of VT01 Teal Farm Airport, lasting 5 minutes and extending over 27 nm.
A second climb started 2 miles south-east of Chelsea, raising altitude from 9,995 ft asl to 19,172 ft asl, a gain of 9,177 ft in 5 minutes and traversing 30 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment began 4 miles south-west of Pittsfield, lasting 3 minutes and covering 24 nm.
Descent phase one originated 5 miles north-west of Whitehall, New York, descending from 19,733 ft asl to 8,006 ft asl, a loss of 11,727 ft in 9 minutes while traveling 50 nm.
A further cruise segment started 5 miles south-west of K09 Piseco, lasting 13 minutes and covering 60 nm.
Descent phase two began 2 miles south-west of Bernhards Bay, dropping from 8,008 ft asl to 1,727 ft asl, a decrease of 6,282 ft in 7 minutes and spanning 31 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport was flown from the west, on a heading of 88.0° at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10, which is 8,989 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 143 kt, touchdown distance of 1,415 ft, touchdown speed of 137 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 237 fpm; runway alignment was very good. Weather at the time was 86 °F with wind from 180° at 4 kt, a 4 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 4,806 ft, representing 53 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 248 nm, took 62 minutes, and consumed 5,781 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 received a 99.0 % score as it entered the final approach to runway 10 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport from the west, flying a heading of 88.0° at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt. The flare was executed from the established approach configuration.
Touchdown occurred 1,415 ft down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt that was a little fast and a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 237 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,806 ft, representing 53 % of the 8,989-ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten performance, aim for the target threshold speed to bring the touchdown speed closer to the optimum and refine flare timing to achieve a gentler vertical rate at touchdown.
