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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,784 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A32NX, then departed from runway 17 at UHMP Pevek Airport in Russia. The takeoff distance was 886 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -28°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,058 feet above sea level to 36,469 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,411 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The climb started overhead UHMP Pevek Airport, Apapelgino, in the Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug region of Russia.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 49 minutes and covered 381 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 69.3520064 and a longitude of 176.0623511. The aircraft then began its descent from 36,729 feet above sea level to 14,195 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,534 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 33 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This phase began 28 miles south of Kivalina, Alaska, United States. The aircraft then began its descent from 14,195 feet above sea level to 5,740 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,456 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This phase began 22 miles northwest of Kotzebue, Alaska, United States. The aircraft then began its descent from 5,740 feet above sea level to 1,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,454 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. This phase began 10 miles west of Kotzebue, Alaska, United States. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at PAOT Ralph Wien Memorial Airport from the west, heading 99.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,200 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at PAOT Ralph Wien Memorial Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 390 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -25°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 50°.
The total landing distance was 913 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 622 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 3,544 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A32NX successfully landed at PAOT Ralph Wien Memorial Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 1,784 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -275 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the total landing distance of 913 meters was only 51% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
