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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,370 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18R at KMEM Memphis International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,695 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Southaven, Mississippi, and involved a significant ascent from 1,370 feet above sea level to 31,598 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,228 feet in 19 minutes and covering 106 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Enola, Arkansas, and lasted for 135 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 887 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles northwest of KSNO Snowflake Airport in Snowflake, Arizona, and involved a descent from 31,888 feet above sea level to 2,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,626 feet in 22 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 25L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport from the east, heading 262.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,126 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25L was successful, with a touchdown point 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,289 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,113 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 191 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,777 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,126 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more reverse thrust or braking than necessary.
The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is not ideal but still within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C. The total landing distance of 1,289 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was satisfactory, with only minor areas for improvement.
