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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,698 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Norderstedt, Germany. The climb took 11 minutes and covered 57 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,154 feet above sea level to 20,173 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles east of Dahme, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,808 feet to 22,851 feet, an increase of 2,043 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time 12 miles east of Fehmarn, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 23,073 feet to 24,071 feet, an increase of 999 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 9 miles south of Stege, Denmark, and the aircraft descended from 24,067 feet to 4,966 feet, a decrease of 19,101 feet in 13 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 1 mile south of Staffanstorp, Sweden, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Gardstanga, Sweden, and the aircraft descended from 4,788 feet to 1,480 feet, a decrease of 3,308 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which is 2,789 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 174 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 326 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 171 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -608 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 100 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,167 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, taking 48 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,356 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 173 kt, registering at 174 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 326 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process. The touchdown speed of 171 kt was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown rate of -608 feet per minute (fpm) was heavy, which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a bit of a hard landing. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing performance of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,167 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot could have done a better job of maintaining control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a score of 90.3%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and touchdown rate, the pilot was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process, resulting in a safe and successful touchdown.
