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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,666 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,666 m of the 1,992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 539 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Embraer E190 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. Runway 27 was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated down the 809-meter-long runway, utilizing 61% of its length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a 25-knot headwind and a 6-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 2,875 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 20,983 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the final one lasting 9 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles, before beginning its descent into Rotterdam The Hague Airport.
The final approach to runway 24 at EHRD Rotterdam The Hague Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 5,904 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 118 knots, which was slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute. The aircraft touched down 118 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,580 meters, utilizing 88% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 48 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,286 kilograms.
The Embraer E190 aircraft touched down on runway 24 at EHRD Rotterdam The Hague Airport, following a final approach from the north east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 129 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 118 kt. The touchdown rate of -247 fpm was fair, but not exceptional.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft was 118 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a wind of 10 kt at 270 °, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 8 kt. The total landing distance of 1,580 m was 88% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.5 m. Despite this, the overall performance of the Embraer E190 was satisfactory, with a final score of 89.1%. The landing was executed within acceptable parameters, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
