Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.1° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,026 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,026 m of the 2,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (LICC). The takeoff distance was 1,296 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Catania, and climbed from an altitude of 317 meters above sea level to 11,927 meters above sea level, an increase of 11,609.8 meters, in 23 minutes and covering 132 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 40 miles south west of Acciaroli, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering 307 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of Sambuca Pistoiese, and descended from 11,729 meters above sea level to 530 meters above sea level, a decrease of 11,199.2 meters, in 23 minutes and covering 91 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (LIPO) was made from the north west, heading 135.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 422.1 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 356 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second was good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,945 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 538 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used 4,110 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPO Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 135.0° at an altitude of 422.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 356 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with an offset of 10.2 meters. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout alignment, where the aircraft deviated from the centreline by the same amount. Despite these minor deviations, the total landing distance of 1,945 meters was within 78% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
