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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 119 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,052 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,007 feet above sea level to 37,631 feet above sea level, a total increase of 36,624 feet in 33 minutes and covering a distance of 220 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Pomport in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 382 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile north of Liphook in Hampshire, England, and the aircraft descended from 38,186 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 36,580 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was made from the west, heading 92.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 120 meters and a touchdown speed of 130 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 670 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 716 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,111 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance of 120 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which had a negligible effect on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 670 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating good control and coordination from the pilots.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be achieved through better control and coordination during the final stages of the approach.
