Maintain the centreline
Next time
Make small rudder corrections to track the centreline, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline during the takeoff roll.
Watch for: Runway centreline position, nosewheel on 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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,394 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 441 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Douglas DC-6 taxied to runway 22R at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles and commenced the departure roll, using 1,586 m of runway (35 % of the available length). Liftoff was achieved at 101 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 040°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt tail-wind component.
Climb began overhead San Miguel Jaltocan, rising from 8,221 ft asl to 23,340 ft asl, an increase of 15,119 ft in 17 minutes while covering 59 nm.
The aircraft entered a level cruise segment 6 nm south of Cuautepec de Hinojosa, maintaining altitude for 7 minutes and traversing 5 nm.
A second climb started 5 nm south of Ahuazotepec, gaining 563 ft from 24,167 ft asl to 24,730 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Subsequent cruise commenced 6 nm south-east of Ahuazotepec, lasting 25 minutes and extending over 101 nm.
Descent commenced 2 nm south of Puente Nacional, descending from 24,981 ft asl to 10,087 ft asl, a loss of 14,893 ft in 7 minutes while covering 31 nm.
A brief level cruise followed 4 nm north of Anton Lizardo for 2 minutes, covering 5 nm.
The next descent began 7 nm north-east of Anton Lizardo, dropping from 9,844 ft asl to 3,322 ft asl, a decrease of 6,522 ft in 6 minutes and spanning 26 nm.
A further cruise segment started 2 nm south of Valle Alto, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nm.
Descent resumed 5 nm south of Jamapa, falling from 2,974 ft asl to 1,400 ft asl, a loss of 1,573 ft in 3 minutes over 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 01 at MMVR General Heriberto Jara International Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 18.0° at 4 nm and 1,312 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 01 at MMVR when the aircraft reached 196 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01 at MMVR was performed on a runway 2,394 m long; the threshold speed was 106 kt and touchdown occurred at 440 m from the threshold with a speed of 100 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 162 fpm and runway alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 27 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 250°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing roll measured 1,276 m, representing 53 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 277 nm, took 78 minutes, and consumed 2,010 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 entered the final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport from the south on a heading of 339.0° at 4 nm and 1,330 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 175 m down the runway; the touchdown speed was 129 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 370 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft completed the touchdown with the recorded speed and rate, maintaining the very good alignment and the aim point well within the expected 300 m (1,000 ft) from the threshold.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,138 m, representing 53 % of the 2,128 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a score of 96.8 % the landing was strong overall; reducing the touchdown speed slightly will help bring the speed closer to the target and soften the firm rate. Maintaining the current flare technique while fine-tuning speed will preserve the excellent alignment and runway usage.
