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 five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,443 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,650 meters, which is 88% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Winford in North Somerset, England. The climb took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 166 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,517 feet above sea level to 36,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,479 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles northwest of Penly in Normandie, France. This cruise phase lasted for 99 minutes and covered a distance of 760 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles northeast of Isole Tremiti in Puglia, Italy. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,997 feet above sea level to 8,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,006 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of LIQO Aviosuperficie Il Nido delle Acquile Quasano in Puglia, Italy. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of Spinazzola in Puglia, Italy. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 8,996 feet above sea level to 1,390 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,606 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport was made from the southwest, heading 70.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which has a length of 2,443 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 347 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 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 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot, but a tailwind of 2 knots was still present. The total landing distance was 1,092 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,059 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used 6,913 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 70.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of situational awareness and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 123 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 131 knots. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain a controlled descent and touchdown, minimizing the risk of overrunning the runway. The touchdown distance of 347 meters was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilots' skill and expertise.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance. The pilots' ability to adapt to these conditions and maintain a stable approach and landing is a testament to their training and experience.
The total landing distance of 1,092 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout, with the pilots making adjustments as necessary to maintain alignment with the runway centerline. The perfect runway rollout alignment further emphasizes the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of expertise and situational awareness. The aircraft's performance and the pilots' actions resulted in a safe and successful landing, with minimal risk of incident or accident.
