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: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 65 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the aircraft rolled down runway 04R, covering 946 meters or 32% of the 2,110-meter runway, before lifting off at a speed of 135 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind of 10 knots at 350°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nice, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,880 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 12,543 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,707 feet, in just 3 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off for a period of 5 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport. The descent was a gradual one, taking 12 minutes to cover 49 nautical miles and reduce the altitude from 12,539 feet to 979 feet above sea level.
The aircraft made a good landing on runway 36 at Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, touching down at a speed of 120 knots and a distance of 64 meters, which was 27% of the 2,110-meter runway. The touchdown rate was, however, quite hard at -564 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 124 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 547 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, C750, initiated its final approach to runway 36 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport from the south, aligning with the heading of 360.0° at 0 nm and 277 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 kt, which met the expected standards. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 64 m was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 120 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -564 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.6 m, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a 10 kt headwind from 359°, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 568 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.5 m, indicating a need for improvement in this aspect of the landing.
Overall, the landing performance of C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 91.9%. While there were minor deviations in the touchdown position and rollout alignment, the aircraft's approach and touchdown characteristics were generally good. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent was evident, despite the slightly faster touchdown speed. With some refinement in the rollout phase, the crew can further improve the overall landing performance.
