Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 15 ft off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,871 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,249 ft 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,499 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 134 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 5,226 feet above sea level to 38,076 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,851 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of UT49 Desert Aviation Airport Delta. This phase lasted for 48 minutes and covered a distance of 360 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles southeast of KTNP Twentynine Palms Airport Twentynine Palms. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,884 feet above sea level to 1,445 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,439 feet.
The final approach to runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 289.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,254 feet and a touchdown speed of 113 knots. The touchdown rate was -173 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 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,478 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 556 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 98 minutes. The aircraft used 7,470 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 122 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,254 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 113 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the aircraft to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 3,478 feet was 51% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable and safe margin. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at San Diego International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with the aircraft performing within acceptable limits and the crew demonstrating good control and decision-making skills.
