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 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 601 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 707-320 taxied from the parking area to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 14R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,929 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and lifted off at 153 kt; ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 18 kt from 150°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced overhead SKBO, climbing from 9,458 ft asl to 23,977 ft asl, an altitude gain of 14,519 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 51 nm.
Level cruise began 2 mi north of SKFV El Santuario Airport and continued for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 47 nm.
The first descent started 9 mi south-west of Narino, descending from 23,996 ft asl to 9,506 ft asl, a loss of 14,490 ft in 6 minutes over a distance of 37 nm.
A subsequent climb was initiated 2 mi north-east of La Ceja, raising the aircraft from 9,480 ft asl to 14,052 ft asl, an increase of 4,571 ft completed in 3 minutes while covering 12 nm.
The next descent began 3 mi south of La Ceja, dropping from 14,035 ft asl to 8,204 ft asl, a decrease of 5,831 ft in 6 minutes across 23 nm.
Final approach to runway 01 at SKRG Jose María Córdova International Airport was conducted from the south, on a heading of 359.0°, at 4 nm and 1,198 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01 occurred with a runway length of 3,509 m; the threshold height of 58 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed of 132 kt was a little below target. Touchdown was recorded 175 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 207 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.7 m from the centreline. Local weather was 24 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 70°, an 8 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,154 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was reported as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 178 nm, required 44 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,159 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 707-320 executed a final approach to runway 01 at SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 359.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,198 ft agl; the local temperature was 24 °C with wind 8 kt from 70 °, providing an 8 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft was 58 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 175 m beyond the touchdown zone; the speed at touchdown was 120 kt and was described as good, while the vertical rate was fair at minus 207 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 m from the centreline.
The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,154 m, representing 33 % of the 3,509 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the flare to achieve a touchdown point closer to the designated zone and adjust lateral control to reduce the 6.7 m centreline offset, which will further improve the already strong 92.8 % score.
