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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,046 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 342 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 19 at MMVR General Heriberto Jara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,007 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Valle Alto, Mexico. The climb began at an altitude of 1,119 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,964 feet, an increase of 37,845 feet in 36 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 247 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a specific location with coordinates Latitude: 22.1157093 and Longitude: -93.1589793. This phase of the flight lasted for 115 minutes and covered a distance of 946 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 1 mile north of 44SC 4 Holes Field Orangeburg in South Carolina, United States. The descent from 38,979 feet above sea level to 1,665 feet above sea level took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 169 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 344 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,367 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 184 minutes. The aircraft used 7,684 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 49 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 13 knots.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 05L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, registering at 138 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 344 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 49°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 730 meters was 24% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good threshold height, a controlled touchdown rate, and a short rollout distance. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft in challenging weather conditions and maintain a stable approach and landing configuration contributed to the successful outcome.
