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 1,870 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,870 m of the 2,521 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 555 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 04 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,746 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 177 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 330°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ivanka pri Dunaji, a town in Bratislava, Slovakia, and continued to an altitude of 32,861 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,426 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles south of Mautern in Steiermark, Austria, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile west of Ortisei, a town in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, and descended from 33,621 feet to 2,050 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,571 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base was made from the east, heading 286.0°, at an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level, and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 28, which has a length of 2,521 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -161 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 264°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,791 meters, which is 71% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 347 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes, using 2,439 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, heading 286.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 141 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 141 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was controlled and the pilot managed to maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 264°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which contributed to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,791 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.0%. The minor deviations in touchdown point and speed were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing.
