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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 04R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 136 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,660 meters accounted for 56% of the runway length, with a local wind of 9 knots at 320 degrees contributing to the aircraft's performance.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nice, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 994 feet above sea level to 30,008 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 156 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, gradually losing altitude as it approached its destination. The descent phases were interspersed with brief level cruise segments, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable altitude before continuing its descent. The final approach to runway 02 at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed smoothly on runway 02, with a touchdown distance of 380 meters and a touchdown speed of 92 knots. The touchdown rate was a smooth -149 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,018 meters accounted for 40% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 390 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 77 minutes and a fuel consumption of 596 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the south, heading 19.0° at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl, was executed with precision. The aircraft, Honda HA420, maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed was also well-managed, reaching 109 kt as required.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 380 m, and the touchdown speed of 92 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was particularly noteworthy, with a smooth -149 fpm indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline position. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a gentle headwind of 12 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout. The total landing distance of 1,018 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.1%.
