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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,558 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,280 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 4,794 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30 °F and winds of 5 knots at 49°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 2 miles east of ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,108 feet above sea level to 35,989 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,881 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 27 miles south east of Juniskar, Vaesternorrland County, Sweden, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 391 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 33 miles south east of Setermoen, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, where it descended from 36,000 feet above sea level to 1,163 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,838 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the north, heading 191.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,119 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,273 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was -165 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 °F and winds of 2 knots at 169°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,965 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 645 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used 10,372 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, heading 191.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,273 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the expected range, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 169°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing. The runway length of 6,558 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 3,965 feet, which was 60% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance.
