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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,940 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,940 m of the 2,253 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 32 at LIPO Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,597 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Castenedolo in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 22 minutes and covered 126 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 429 meters above sea level to 11,403 meters.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Castellina in Chianti in Toscana, Italy. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered 295 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 42 miles northwest of Malfa in Sicilia, Italy. The descent took 20 minutes and covered 89 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 11,608 meters to 1,590 meters.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Raddusa in Sicilia, Italy. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles northeast of Ramacca in Sicilia, Italy. The descent took 3 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 1,479 meters to 395 meters.
The final approach to runway 08 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 383.1 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 2,253 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 200 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,544 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 543 nautical miles, and the flight took 103 minutes. The aircraft used 4,271 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, with a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 84.0° at an altitude of 383.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than ideal at 137 knots, which resulted in a fair touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 200 meters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach.
The total landing distance was 1,544 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path along the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from ideal performance.
