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 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 29 at LEAS Asturias Airport. The takeoff distance was 833 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead San Juan de la Arena in the Principality of Asturias, Spain. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,071 feet above sea level to 28,287 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,216 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south west of Villadangos del Paramo in Castilla y Leon, Spain. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile south west of Zotes del Paramo, and ascended from 28,801 feet above sea level to 32,120 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,319 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Manganeses de la Lampreana in Castilla y Leon, Spain. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 213 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south of Almodovar del Pinar in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 32,400 feet above sea level to 1,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,076 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 280.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,215 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -64 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 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,227 meters, which accounted for 41% 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 434 nautical miles, taking 93 minutes, and the aircraft used 530 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, with a score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being described as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, registering at 123 knots. The touchdown point was located 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 104 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed excellent. This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, which is essential for a safe landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 229°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,227 meters, which is approximately 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short period of time. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 99.2%. The combination of a good touchdown speed, excellent touchdown rate, and perfect runway rollout alignment all contributed to a smooth and safe landing.
