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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 6,097 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,097 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,802 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The B-2 Spirit aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KOQU Quonset State Airport, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 34, with the aircraft covering 69% of the runway's length in a takeoff distance of 4,921 feet. The liftoff speed was recorded at 141 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 38°F temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 288 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of KOQU Quonset State Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 500 feet above sea level to 38,974 feet above sea level, a vertical increase of 38,475 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 124 nautical miles and took 21 minutes to complete.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles southeast of KSCU Scarborough Airport in Maine, United States. This phase lasted for 357 minutes and covered a distance of 4,172 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles south of Bazarnyye Mataki in Tatarstan, Russia. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 38,476 feet above sea level to 1,124 feet above sea level, a vertical decrease of 37,352 feet. This phase took 16 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 61.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 686 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 05, which had a length of 8,361 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was recorded at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 425 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 5,820 feet, which accounted for 70% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,369 nautical miles, which was covered in 403 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 111,991 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, heading 61.0° at an altitude of 686 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 122 knots (kn).
The touchdown point was located 425 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The threshold speed was also good at 132 kn, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°F and a wind speed of 2 kn from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 2 kn, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance was 5,820 feet, which is 70% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and rollout phases.
