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: six 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,817 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 273 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 32 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a B350, then departed from runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) in Saint Martin. The takeoff distance was 859 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 124 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it reached an altitude of 1,842 feet above sea level, increasing from an initial altitude of 952 feet. This climb took just 1 minute and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 4 miles southeast of the airport.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 1,426 feet to 5,836 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,409 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 10 nautical miles and took place 9 miles southeast of the airport. The aircraft then entered another cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 3 miles north of Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport (TFFJ).
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began a descent from 5,847 feet to 792 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,054 feet in 5 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 14 nautical miles and took place 25 miles west of Codrington Airport (TAPH) in Barbuda.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 806 feet to 1,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,169 feet in 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and took place 14 miles west of Codrington Airport. The aircraft then entered another cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 1,732 feet to 1,190 feet above sea level, a decrease of 542 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and took place 7 miles southwest of Codrington Airport. The aircraft then entered another cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then attempted a go-around at Codrington Airport, but was unsuccessful and landed on runway 10. However, it was required to perform another go-around due to the landing not being successful. The aircraft then landed successfully on runway 10, with a touchdown distance of 272 meters and a touchdown speed of 102 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -14 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 451 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 91 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 283 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as a B350, successfully landed at TAPB Barbuda Intl, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 70.0° at an altitude of 1,049 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 1,817 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should be traveling as it crosses the threshold of the runway, was 111 knots.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 272 meters. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which is slightly below the threshold speed. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft is descending as it touches down, was perfect at -14 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was descending at a controlled rate as it touched down on the runway.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly off-center. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C, may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance was 451 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off-center as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and rollout.
