Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 8.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.8°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,836 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Faro Airport (LPFR), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 10, it was cleared for departure, and after a takeoff roll of 1,569 meters, which utilized 65% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 10°, with no crosswind or headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Faro, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the city. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 958 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,995 feet, an increase of 37,037 feet in just 19 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which lasted for 83 minutes and covered a distance of 627 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady altitude of 37,995 feet. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 38,003 feet to 30,040 feet, a decrease of 7,963 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 11 miles southwest of Saint Helier, Jersey, and took the aircraft from 30,013 feet to 1,343 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,670 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Bournemouth Airport (EGHH), it began its final approach to runway 26, flying from the east at a heading of 255.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,299 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 1,836 meters long, with a touchdown point 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,260 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 942 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,346 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 150 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 26 at EGHH Bournemouth Airport, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was significantly above the target, registering 148 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's high approach speed. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a fair touchdown rate of -233 fpm, but the touchdown speed of 142 kt was faster than desired.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position on the runway was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 9.3 m. This deviation was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft remained 8.9 m off-centreline. The touchdown point was 77 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been a consequence of the aircraft's high approach speed and the resulting fast touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 1,260 m was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The approach quality was not explicitly stated, but the landing performance suggests that the aircraft's approach may have been slightly aggressive. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a headwind of 20 kt, may have contributed to the aircraft's high approach speed. Overall, the landing performance scored 95.9%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing.
