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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 03 at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport in Morocco. The takeoff distance was 3,315 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb from 1,266 feet above sea level to 39,630 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,364 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The climb began overhead GMME Rabat-Salé Airport in Rabat, Morocco. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of GMTT Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport in Tangier, Morocco, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 379 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles east of Borriol in Spain, where the aircraft descended from 39,287 feet above sea level to 1,260 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,027 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Spain was made from the north east, heading 246.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,098 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 129 knots, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 330 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 621 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used 9,589 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 24R was executed from the north east, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.8%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also within the acceptable range at 129 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,098 feet was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot preference.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 330°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 3,861 feet was 40% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
