Arrival Rollout — Landing distance 436 m at 63 %, g force 0.09 to 0.60 g at 88 %, −1.62 points
Departure Climb 1 — Heading variation -4.2 ° at 63 %, −1.25 points

Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

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.
