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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 169 kt and left the ground after traveling a takeoff distance of 1,705 m, which represented 52 % of the runway. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 1°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The climb commenced overhead NZAA, climbing from 966 ft asl to 1,701 ft asl - an increase of 735 ft - in 1 minutes while covering 2 nm.
Level cruise began over Wiri, lasting 5 minutes and extending for 15 nm.
On final approach to runway 05R from the west, the aircraft was established on a heading of 75.0° at 2 nm and 711 ft agl.
The descent segment reduced altitude from 891 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 79 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred on runway 05R, whose length is 3,284 m, with a threshold speed of 137 kt. The aircraft touched down 390 m from the threshold at 129 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 339 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Weather at landing was 32 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 0°, a cross-wind of 5 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.
The rollout distance measured 1,076 m, representing 33 % of the runway, but the aircraft’s alignment was offset by 30.0 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 24 nm, took 8 (units as given), and consumed 54,085 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A330-200 approached runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport from the west on a heading of 75.0 ° at 2 nm and 711 ft agl, descending from 891 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 79 seconds and scoring on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 390 m down the runway at a speed of 129 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 339 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment; the total landing distance was 1,076 m, representing 33 % of the 3,284 m runway. Local weather was 32 °C with wind 5 kt at 0 °, a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
During rollout the aircraft was misaligned by 30.0 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 68.9 % the primary area for refinement is centreline control in the rollout; concentrating on precise alignment techniques will reduce the 30 m deviation and improve overall runway usage.
