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 1,469 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,469 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 106 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,129 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 23 °C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at 220°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGSS London Stansted Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered 57 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,391 feet above sea level to 30,683 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,292 feet. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Beenham, West Berkshire, England, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering 189 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south-west of Guipel, Bretagne, France, and took 23 minutes to descend from 31,252 feet above sea level to 2,496 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,756 feet. The descent covered 119 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Sainte-Radegonde-des-Noyers, Pays de la Loire, France, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport was made from the east, heading 272.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 108 meters and a touchdown speed of 139 knots, although this was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -790 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20 °C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 382 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 3,332 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal, coming in at 139 knots. This resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -790 feet per minute, which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown distance was good at 108 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
