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 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 258 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The takeoff distance was 1,083 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 122 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kegworth in Leicestershire, England. It climbed from an altitude of 1,319 feet above sea level to 39,143 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,823 feet, in 33 minutes and covering a distance of 240 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting overhead Hargicourt in Hauts-de-France, France. This phase of the flight lasted 34 minutes and covered a distance of 293 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Goschenen in Kanton Uri, Switzerland. It descended from an altitude of 39,055 feet above sea level to 3,009 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,046 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 175 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Budrio in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It descended from an altitude of 3,015 feet above sea level to 1,599 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,416 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (LIPE) was made from the south east, heading 297.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,464 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 258 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -203 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 a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 564 meters, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 725 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 4,671 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its final approach and landing maneuvers. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 297.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,464 feet above ground level.
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a score of 99.8%. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 258 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, there were a few areas where the pilot could improve. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute. This is considered fair, but it could be improved upon in future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and there was no headwind. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, as the pilot had to contend with a slight tailwind component.
The total landing distance of 564 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent, and was able to bring the plane to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft's landing at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and skill in its final approach and landing maneuvers.
