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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,545 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,545 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,408 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level to 31,776 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,731 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 475 nautical miles. This phase began 12 miles south east of Tossa de Mar, a town in the Catalunya region of Spain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles east of Umhausen, a town in the Tirol region of Austria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 30,403 feet above sea level to 2,746 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,657 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,987 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was 462 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,463 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 614 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,938 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 462 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
One minor issue was observed during the landing, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a minor error in navigation. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 37% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilots' skill and the aircraft's performance.
