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 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF). The takeoff distance was 1,918 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 79 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Fiumicino, rising from an altitude of 1,008 feet above sea level to 15,091 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,083 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 4 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 53 miles east of Golfo Aranci and took the aircraft from 15,099 feet to 30,836 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,737 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, which started 50 miles west of Stintino and took the aircraft from 30,925 feet to 34,581 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,656 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a long level cruise phase, which lasted 92 minutes and covered a distance of 505 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 4 miles northeast of Fontanarejo and took the aircraft from 34,442 feet to 19,953 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,488 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 9 miles south of Belmez and took the aircraft from 19,493 feet to 1,411 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,082 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Sevilla Airport (LEZL) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 3,347 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 340 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,398 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 916
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEZL Sevilla Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,398 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and fair touchdown rate may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's performance.
