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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,855 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 979 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 02C at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS). The takeoff distance was 1,932 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead the airport, ascending from an altitude of 1,015 feet above sea level to 31,276 feet above sea level, a total increase of 30,262 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles north of Mersing, Malaysia. This phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 29 miles southwest of Marang, Malaysia. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,228 feet above sea level to 1,191 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 30,038 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (WMKC) was made from the west, heading 100.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,168 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 11 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,780 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 316 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 540 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at WMKC Sultan Ismail Petra Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.3%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 10 from the west was executed at a heading of 100.0°, with a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,168 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 62 knots, which is well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 976 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and precision.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 11 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment may be attributed to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, considering the challenging weather conditions.
The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 12 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,780 feet was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at WMKC Sultan Ismail Petra Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise, as well as the aircraft's capabilities. The high score of 99.3% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a smooth, controlled landing.
