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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,732 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,732 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 12R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 2,060 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 14 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of OMDB, where the aircraft climbed from 1,045 feet above sea level to 33,409 feet, an increase of 32,365 feet in 17 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 31 miles northwest of Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport (OMSN) and lasted 141 minutes, covering 926 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 9 miles north of Sirnak, Turkey, where it climbed from 33,401 feet to 35,030 feet, an increase of 1,629 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles northeast of Eruh, Turkey, and lasted 138 minutes, covering 1,018 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it started an enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Pescari, Romania. The descent from 35,243 feet to 11,965 feet, a decrease of 23,278 feet, took 16 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began again 3 miles northwest of Toszeg, Hungary, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Cegléd Airfield (LHCL), where the aircraft descended from 11,705 feet to 1,729 feet, a decrease of 9,976 feet in 8 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) was from the southeast, heading 312.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31L, which had a length of 3,006 meters, was successful, with the threshold height above target and the threshold speed good at 148 knots. However, the touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots.
The touchdown rate was fair at -297 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 329°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,655 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 10 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,190 nautical miles, taking 346 minutes, and the aircraft used 44,214 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a final approach score of 95.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31L, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was good, at 148 knots, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing. The touchdown rate of -297 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 329°, and a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,655 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including a slightly high threshold height, a fast touchdown speed, and a slightly off-center touchdown point.
