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 3,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 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 02 at PATU Casco Cove Cgs, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 947 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 64 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Casco Cove, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the PAAT Casco Cove Coast Guard Station Attu. The climb was a steep one, with the aircraft ascending from 1,373 feet above sea level to 39,248 feet in just 30 minutes, covering a distance of 216 nautical miles. This impressive climb was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 144 minutes and covered a distance of 1,070 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of 55.0987112 and a longitude of 178.0139996. This period of steady flight allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a comfortable cruising altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 29 miles northwest of Z90 Stampede Airport Kantishna. The descent was a rapid one, with the aircraft dropping from 38,549 feet to 3,595 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. This steep descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting just 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew 2 miles west of Farmers Loop.
The final descent phase began 3 miles east of Fox, with the aircraft dropping from 3,585 feet to 1,704 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This final descent set the stage for the aircraft's approach to runway 20R at PAFA Fairbanks International Airport.
The final approach was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 218.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 370 meters. The touchdown rate was also good, at -170 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 814 meters, which accounted for just 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,404 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 185 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,058 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PAFA Fairbanks International Airport on runway 20R. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 218.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of precision in its approach, with a score of 99.4%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 370 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute was within the acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing process. The runway length of 3,131 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 814 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
