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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 243 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 12 at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG). The takeoff distance was 1,228 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -26°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 199 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Leduc, Alberta, Canada. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,416 feet above sea level to 37,613 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,197 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles southeast of Provost, Alberta, Canada, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 374 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 16 miles northeast of Virden Regional Aerodrome (CYVD), Manitoba, Canada, and took 18 minutes to descend from 37,523 feet above sea level to 2,124 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,399 feet. The descent covered a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the southeast, heading 318.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,316 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots and a touchdown rate of -397 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -20°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 300 degrees.
The total landing distance was 936 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 657 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 3,588 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 31. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, aligning with the runway at a heading of 318.0°, approximately 4 nautical miles from the airport and at an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 243 meters was also good, and the touchdown speed of 139 knots was within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -397 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of -20°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300°. However, the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by these conditions, with a crosswind of only 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. This suggests that the pilots were able to effectively manage the aircraft's speed and direction to compensate for the wind.
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 indicates that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the aircraft performing well in challenging weather conditions.
