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 2,558 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 147 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 14 at KGPT Gulfport Biloxi International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,769 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of KGPT Gulfport Biloxi International Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,051 feet above sea level to 38,660 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,609 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of 4LA8 Overton Private Airport in Clinton, Louisiana. This phase lasted for 158 minutes and covered a distance of 1,102 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles south of Valle, Arizona. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 156 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,470 feet above sea level to 9,233 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,238 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south of 0L7 Jean Jean in Nevada. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead 0L7 Jean Jean. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 8,666 feet above sea level to 3,611 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,055 feet.
The final approach to runway 01L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 25.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,486 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01L, which had a length of 2,558 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 148 meters, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -492 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 988 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,389 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 228 minutes. The aircraft used 7,975 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 01L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,486 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 139 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 148 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -492 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force. This could be a result of the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed or the aircraft's descent rate.
Despite the slightly hard touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and winds of 8 knots at 80°, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 988 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training or adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
