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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 2,698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,563 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,039 feet above sea level to 34,669 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,630 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south west of RJT2 Miho Airfield Shizuoka. This phase lasted for 124 minutes and covered a distance of 663 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles north east of RJKB Okinoerabu Airport Wadomari. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,943 feet above sea level to 2,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,951 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of AG06 Amphibious Ready Group - Okinawa. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles south east of AG06 Amphibious Ready Group - Okinawa. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,706 feet above sea level to 1,295 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,411 feet.
The final approach to runway 18R at ROAH Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base was made from the north, heading 177.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 85 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -68 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 849 nautical miles, which was covered in 182 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,064 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ROAH Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base, achieving a high score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with a heading of 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 85 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots. This speed was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.8 meters.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and rollout alignment may require further attention to ensure optimal performance and safety.
