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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 464 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an EasyJet FWB, then departed from runway 08 at DATM Bordj Badji Mokhtar Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,656 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles east of DATM Bordj Badji Mokhtar Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 2,312 feet above sea level to 36,579 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,267 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 224 nautical miles. The cruise phase started at a latitude of 23.2137478 and a longitude of 1.5949869. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 20 miles east of DAAF Aoulef Airport. The descent was from an altitude of 36,509 feet above sea level to 2,651 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,858 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase started 8 miles southwest of DAUA Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport. The final approach to runway 04 at DAUA Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown point 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -152 feet per minute, also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,143 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 452 nautical miles, taking a total of 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,633 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at DAUA Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport with a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 40.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,002 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.3 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind, which was blowing at 8 knots from the north, and the headwind, which was 3 knots. The local weather conditions were hot, with a temperature of 41°C, and the wind was relatively light.
Despite the slight deviation, the total landing distance of 1,143 meters was only 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a short distance.
