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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 379 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
On runway 11L at VIDP Indira Gandhi International Airport the aircraft commenced its departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,812 m (53 % of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 178 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 119°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile south of VIDP, where the airplane rose from 1,726 ft asl to 30,229 ft asl, an increase of 28,503 ft, in 30 minutes while covering 216 nm.
Level cruise was established 3 miles south-west of Sahaspur, lasting 80 minutes and encompassing 639 nm of flight.
A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 36.7469944, longitude 87.8404981, climbing from 31,140 ft asl to 32,246 ft asl, a gain of 1,106 ft, in 2 minutes and traversing 13 nm.
The next cruise phase began at latitude 36.9061707, longitude 88.0629996, persisting for 154 minutes and covering 1,292 nm.
Descent number one commenced at latitude 36.5864194, longitude 87.6175054, descending from 32,102 ft asl to 31,057 ft asl, a loss of 1,045 ft, in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
Descent number two started 14 miles south-west of Zhangjiakou Shi Xuanhua Qu, where the aircraft dropped from 32,157 ft asl to 1,413 ft asl, a decrease of 30,744 ft, in 19 minutes while covering 125 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport was flown from the south, on a heading of 353.0°, at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01 was executed on a runway 3,797 m long; the threshold speed was 140 kt, touchdown occurred 383 m down the runway at 135 kt, and the aircraft settled with a firm touchdown rate of minus 305 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good, and the local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 63°, giving a 5 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,098 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s centre-line alignment was offset by 25.7 m.
After exiting the runway, the Airbus A321 taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 2,306 nm, took 295 minutes, and consumed 11,867 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 entered the final approach to runway 01 at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 353.0° at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl while the local temperature was 24 °C and the wind was 5 kt from 63°, providing a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft encountered a good threshold height on a runway 3,797 m long and established a threshold speed of 140 kt, which the input describes as good.
Touchdown occurred 383 m down the runway at a speed of 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 305 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance measured 1,098 m, representing 29 % of the available runway, but the rollout alignment was misaligned by 25.7 m from the centreline.
Maintain the strong approach and touchdown technique demonstrated, but focus on improving centre-line tracking during rollout to reduce the 25.7 m deviation and further refine overall landing precision.
