Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 490 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 a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 07 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. The takeoff distance was 754 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 59°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Balice in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 43 minutes and covered a distance of 267 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,746 feet above sea level to 40,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,259 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Sanov in the Stredocesky kraj, Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 263 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south west of Foehren in the Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 171 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,810 feet above sea level to 1,685 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,124 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -145 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 936 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 710 nautical miles, and the flight took 125 minutes. The aircraft used 4,564 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a high level of precision throughout the approach, achieving a score of 99.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 68 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal area. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 220°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 936 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and precision in executing the approach and landing. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the touchdown point accuracy.
