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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 07C, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,460 meters, or 37% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°, and a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed out of Frankfurt Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 1,299 feet above sea level to 26,008 feet in a mere 8 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 26,008 feet for 18 minutes while covering 103 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles south of Schoppingen, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 26,006 feet to 2,002 feet in 16 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase ensued 1 mile south-west of Papenveer, Netherlands, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 58.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 128 knots, and a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -115 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 255 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 50 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,135 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a smooth touchdown rate of -115 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 118 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 414 m was good, considering the runway length of 3,191 m. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilots to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect alignment with the centreline, a testament to the pilots' skill and attention to detail. The total landing distance of 840 m, which accounted for 26% of the runway, was well within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component of 1 kt was minimal, allowing the pilots to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a score of 100.0%. The threshold speed was slightly above target, but the touchdown characteristics, including speed and rate, were well within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the rollout alignment was perfect. The pilots' ability to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases was evident in the smooth touchdown rate and perfect centreline alignment.
