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 7,872 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,872 ft of the 11,702 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 927 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Vision Jet started at ZBAA Beijing Capital with a 14-minute taxi from the parking area to runway 36R, covering 4 nm. The departure roll was smooth, with the aircraft lifting off the ground after a distance of 493 ft and a speed of 96 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 77°F with a light wind of 2 kn at 51°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and headwind.
Once airborne, the enroute climb began over Beijing and reached a cruising altitude of 29,400 ft, covering a distance of 61 nm in 21 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 28 minutes and covered 165 nm, starting near Yangliuqing in Tianjin.
The descent phase began 27 miles northwest of Dengzhou, descending from 29,260 ft to 10,027 ft in 17 minutes while covering 79 nm. This descent was followed by a brief 5-minute cruise before another descent phase, descending from 9,959 ft to 6,877 ft in 6 minutes over Liuting Qingdao.
The final descent phase started 4 miles west of Qingdao-Cangkou Air Base, descending from 6,685 ft to 4,036 ft in 5 minutes, covering 7 nm. This was followed by a short 3-minute level cruise before the last descent, starting 5 miles east of Jiaozhou and descending from 4,030 ft to 1,880 ft in just 1 minute, covering 3 nm.
The landing took place on runway 35 at ZSQD Liuting, with the aircraft touching down 925 ft from the threshold at a speed of 73 kn. The landing distance was 7,547 ft, utilizing 64% of the runway's length. The local weather at the time of landing was 86°F with a light wind of 1 kn at 36°, resulting in minimal crosswind and headwind components.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 372 nm, lasting 102 minutes and consuming 669 lbs of fuel.
