Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.1 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.1 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 2,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at LBSF Sofia Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,783 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 214 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LBSF Sofia Airport and continued to an altitude of 37,533 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 118 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 34,781 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles south of Majdanpek in Central Serbia. This phase lasted for 98 minutes and covered a distance of 682 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southwest of Willingen in Hessen, Germany. The descent phase took 31 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 36,238 feet.
The final approach to runway 03 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 35.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03, which has a length of 2,512 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 322 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at an angle of 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,202 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 958 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,920 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Eindhoven Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 35.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 2,512 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 kt, coming in at 146 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 322 meters. The touchdown speed of 143 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 15 kt from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 12 kt. The total landing distance was 1,202 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
