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 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 33 at WIEE Minangkabau International Airport in Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 542 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 31,946 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,917 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 32 miles south of Padang, a city in the province of Sumatera Barat, Indonesia, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 24 miles southeast of WILW Way Jepara Airport in the province of Lampung, Indonesia. The descent from 31,617 feet above sea level to 965 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,652 feet, took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at WIHH Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 245.0 degrees at an altitude of 870 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 265 meters and a touchdown speed of 94 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -183 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 267 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 536 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 575 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at WIHH Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 870 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 2,804 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 102 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 265 meters. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 267°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the slightly below-target threshold speed were the only minor issues noted during the landing.
