Described herein is an example method for aligning an aircraft with a centerline of a runway during takeoff. The method includes accessing a first image captured by a first camera mounted on a first side of the aircraft; accessing a second image captured by a second camera mounted on a second side of the aircraft that is opposite the first side; determining a first angle between a first marked line on the runway in the first image and a first reference line in the first image; determining a second angle between a second marked line on the runway in the second image and a second reference line in the second image; and based on the first angle and the second angle, moving a control surface of the aircraft such that the aircraft moves closer to the centerline of the runway.
