Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,017 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 03 at PHLI Lihue Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,654 feet, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 5 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of Hanama'ulu, Hawaii. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,106 feet, an increase of 32,085 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south east of PHLU Kalaupapa Airport, Kalaupapa, Hawaii. This phase lasted for 379 minutes, covering a distance of 2,259 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south west of KDAG Barstow Daggett Airport, Daggett, California. The descent was from an altitude of 33,006 feet to 13,586 feet, a decrease of 19,419 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south east of Sandy Valley, Nevada. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 8 miles south of Blue Diamond, Nevada. The descent was from an altitude of 12,980 feet to 3,345 feet, a decrease of 9,635 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,220 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,023 feet, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was negligible. The total landing distance was 4,667 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 2,522 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 338 minutes. The aircraft used 33,363 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport on runway 26L, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,220 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 1,023 feet, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 12 feet off the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 91°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,667 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The slight deviation in the touchdown position was the only notable issue, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
