Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 17 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 36R at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport in 14 minutes, covering 4 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 36R with a ground roll of 1,713 m, representing 45 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 144 kt. Ambient temperature was 25 °C with wind from 332° at 11 kt, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 10 kt headwind.
The initial climb began overhead ZBAA, climbing from 839 ft asl to 6,889 ft asl, an increase of 6,049 ft in 3 minutes while covering 12 nm.
A level cruise segment started 8 miles north of Shunyi (Beijing Shi, China) and lasted 6 minutes, during which 31 nm were flown.
A second climb commenced 17 miles north-west of Dongshigu (Tianjin Shi, China), rising from 6,888 ft asl to 34,447 ft asl, a gain of 27,558 ft in 17 minutes and covering 110 nm.
The following cruise began 12 miles north-west of Cangzhou (Hebei Sheng, China), lasting 51 minutes and encompassing 434 nm.
Descent started 11 miles south of Taixing (Jiangsu Sheng, China), descending from 34,995 ft asl to 2,208 ft asl, a loss of 32,787 ft in 17 minutes over 98 nm.
A brief cruise segment was flown 11 miles south of Shanghai (Shanghai Shi, China) for 5 minutes, covering 14 nm.
During final approach to runway 36L at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,318 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 98 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36L, which is 3,003 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 144 kt. Touchdown occurred 50 m down the runway at 143 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 323 fpm and a touchdown position offset 10.4 m from the centreline. Local weather was 22 °C, wind 3 kt at 20°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,260 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was off by 17.3 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 710 nm, took 114, and consumed 10,561 kg of fuel.
