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 five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,228 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Wrington, North Somerset, England. The climb took the aircraft from 1,490 feet above sea level to 5,486 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,996 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of Redhill, North Somerset, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 5,717 feet above sea level to 31,366 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,649 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over Westerleigh, South Gloucestershire, England.
The enroute level cruise then started 11 miles south of Rottingdean, Brighton and Hove, England, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering a distance of 419 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Le Poet-Laval, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took the aircraft from 31,316 feet above sea level to 2,191 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,125 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 2,344 feet above sea level to 2,944 feet above sea level, an increase of 599 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, Nice, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The enroute level cruise then started 4 miles south of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The descent took the aircraft from 3,429 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,145 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 45.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,259 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04L was successful, with a touchdown point 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 4
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown point was located 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport is 2,561 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 1,546 meters was 60% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
