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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,909 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,909 ft of the 11,075 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,189 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
