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 1,627 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,627 m of the 3,134 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 29 at UNKL Krasnoyarsk International Airport. The takeoff distance was 611 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,970 feet above sea level to 28,170 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,200 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead USHO Manskiy Airfield Shalinskoye and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 185 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 37 miles northeast of Alzamay, descending from 28,127 feet above sea level to 4,351 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,776 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 12 miles east of Bratsk and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at UIBB Bratsk Airport was made from the southeast, heading 295.0° at an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown point 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 111 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 343 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 438 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at UIBB Bratsk Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south east, heading 295.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was significantly higher than the target speed, reaching 111 knots. The touchdown point was located 124 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 100 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute was considered good.
The landing was conducted in challenging weather conditions, with a temperature of -9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,530 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline, with a deviation of 11.1 meters. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters.
