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 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 723 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,419 feet above sea level to 23,214 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,795 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead EGSS London Stansted Airport and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, starting overhead Woburn Sands in Milton Keynes, England. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile east of Northampton, England, and continued until it reached 8,930 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,805 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 18 nautical miles, starting overhead Ratby in Leicestershire, England. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 1 mile north east of Borrowash in Derbyshire, England, and continued until it reached 2,065 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,035 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, starting 1 mile south west of Bottesford in Leicestershire, England. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport, which was located to the east, heading 268.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 399 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,074 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 132 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 1,894 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 27, achieving a score of 97.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were both satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 130 knots and a good touchdown distance of 399 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 124 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -249 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly longer deceleration period. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer rollout distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 11 knots and a headwind component of 14 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance was 1,074 meters, which was 42% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired path, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's handling characteristics.
