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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,561 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,561 m of the 3,600 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 1,136 feet above sea level to 23,372 feet in a mere 10 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. This initial climb phase set the stage for the aircraft's subsequent altitude gains. As it transitioned into the enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft leveled off at 23,331 feet, maintaining this altitude for 9 minutes while covering 53 nautical miles.
The flight then entered another enroute climb phase, this time ascending from 23,331 feet to 35,522 feet in 9 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise phase, lasting 120 minutes and covering a significant 939 nautical miles. The aircraft remained at 35,522 feet, maintaining a steady altitude. As the flight progressed, the crew initiated the enroute descent phase, gradually reducing the aircraft's altitude from 34,131 feet to 1,755 feet in 21 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Harbin Taiping International Airport, it entered the final approach phase, descending from 1,286 feet above ground level to touchdown. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was within the expected range. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 7 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,229 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 7,501 kilograms of fuel during the 187-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down smoothly on Runway 36L at Harbin Taiping International Airport, with a satisfactory approach quality rating of 87.7%. The aircraft descended from 43 feet above ground level (agl) to touch down at 0 ft agl in a controlled 6-second period, demonstrating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a gentle touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained its centreline alignment, with a slight deviation of less than 10 meters from the runway centreline. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was within the expected range, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway's length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a 10-knot headwind from 220°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The landing rollout was also satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 462 feet above sea level (asl) after a distance of 974 meters. The rollout was smooth and controlled, with no significant deviations from the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout performance.
