Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 91 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 91 ft, 46 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 351 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 542 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from NWWW La Tontouta International Airport, the Airbus A330-900 taxied for 10 minutes over a distance of 2 nm before rolling down runway 29. The takeoff run measured 1,725 m, representing 53 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 166 kt. Local conditions were 16 °C with a 5 kt wind from 120°, providing a 5 kt tailwind and no crosswind component.
The climb phase began 1 mile northwest of the departure airport, rising from 691 ft to 35,999 ft in 24 minutes while covering 183 nm. Cruise segments followed, first at latitude -24.6169633, longitude 167.633079 for 84 minutes over 744 nm, then a brief 2-minute level at 5 nm east of NZKE Waiheke Reeve Airport, and a 3-minute level covering 9 nm south of the same airport. Descent operations commenced 9 miles northeast of Ngunguru, dropping 31,267 ft in 16 minutes over 91 nm, and continued through successive descents near Auckland, ultimately reaching 1,347 ft above sea level.
Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport, the aircraft touched down 130 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of -316 fpm. The touchdown alignment was very good, and the touchdown speed was slightly above the threshold speed of 141 kt. The total landing distance was 1,249 m, or 34 % of the runway length. After a 4-minute taxi to the parking area covering less than 1 nm, the flight had covered 1,053 nm, consuming 13,398 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft agl. The touchdown occurred 130 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 kt and a firm touchdown rate of -316 fpm. The touchdown alignment was very good, and the threshold speed was 141 kt, described as good.
Runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport has a length of 3,676 m. The aircraft landed on this runway, covering a total landing distance of 1,249 m, which represents 34 % of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather conditions were 8 °C with a wind of 2 kt at 359°, a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
