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.
Side view — the last 2,264 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,264 m of the 3,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD). The takeoff distance was 1,784 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 65°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Paracuellos de Jarama, a town in the Community of Madrid, Spain. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,016 feet above sea level (asl) to 12,763 ft asl, an increase of 9,748 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Hoyo de Manzanares and lasted for 9 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 12,745 ft asl to 31,744 ft asl, an increase of 18,999 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile northeast of San Juan del Molinillo, a town in the province of Castilla y Leon, Spain.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Monroy, a town in the province of Extremadura, Spain. This phase lasted for 107 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 729 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 93 miles northwest of La Santa, a town in the Canary Islands, Spain. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,412 ft asl to 7,195 ft asl, a decrease of 25,216 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
Following the initial descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northeast of Tegueste, a town in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 8 miles east of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital city of the Canary Islands. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 6,662 ft asl to 2,801 ft asl, a decrease of 3,861 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport (GCXO), which is located on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 291.0° at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 761 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots and a touchdown rate of 7 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, specifically on runway 30. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 291.0° at an altitude of 761 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation is relatively minor and does not indicate any significant issues with the landing. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of 7 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which is a relatively favorable wind condition for landing. The runway length of 3,395 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 2,177 meters, representing 64% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.9%. This achievement reflects the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
