Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven 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 3,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 670 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 35L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 340°. With a crosswind of 0 knots, the aircraft was able to depart smoothly, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 146 knots in just 828 meters, which was 24% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Shanghai Pudong International Airport, it began its enroute climb, which took 38 minutes to reach a cruising altitude of 38,813 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 342 nautical miles, an increase of 37,824 feet in altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 33 minutes and covering 308 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards its destination, Chubu Centrair International Airport. The descent phase was initiated 10 miles north of Aki, Japan, and took 20 minutes to reach a lower altitude of 4,005 feet, a decrease of 34,572 feet in altitude. The final approach to runway 36 at Chubu Centrair International Airport was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute.
The Boeing 737-800 landed safely on runway 36, with a touchdown point 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,060 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 832 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,006 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 102 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 36 at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -135 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 116 kt was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating a high level of pilot skill. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 132 kt was slightly above the target, but still within a safe margin.
As the aircraft continued its rollout, it maintained perfect centerline alignment, showcasing the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's trajectory. The total landing distance of 1,060 m, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was reasonable given the local weather conditions. The temperature was 10 °C, and the wind was light, blowing at 4 kt from 350 °, with a negligible crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 97.5%. The approach quality was excellent, and the pilots demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing. The landing distance was well within the acceptable range, and the runway rollout was smooth and aligned with the centerline.
