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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,718 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,718 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 1,409 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Suvarnabhumi Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and took the aircraft from 1,064 feet above sea level to 9,826 feet, an increase of 8,762 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 9 miles northwest of Bang Phra Airport and took the aircraft from 10,005 feet to 17,100 feet, an increase of 7,095 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, which started 3 miles south of Pattaya Airpark and took the aircraft from 17,764 feet to 36,688 feet, an increase of 18,924 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a long level cruise phase, which lasted for 44 minutes and covered 347 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, which started 6 miles southeast of Tanah Merah and took the aircraft from 36,827 feet to 38,829 feet, an increase of 2,001 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered 112 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 13 miles south of Kuantan Airport and took the aircraft from 38,865 feet to 16,112 feet, a decrease of 22,753 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 23 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 17 miles northeast of Kota Tinggi and took the aircraft from 15,326 feet to 1,307 feet, a decrease of 14,020 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20R at Singapore Changi Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 203.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 3,273 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 253 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots from 190°.
The total landing distance was 1,633 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Singapore Changi Airport's runway 20R with a score of 96.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the pilot executed a smooth landing on the 3,273-meter runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was achieved at 140 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 253 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,633 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. However, the excellent touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment suggest that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory.
