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 2,620 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,620 m of the 3,680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 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 a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 23R at HECA Cairo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 863 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of HEAZ Almaza Air Force Base El Nozha. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,232 feet above sea level to 36,543 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,312 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 29 miles southeast of HE38 Abu Rish Valley Airport Wadi Abu Rish. This phase lasted for 226 minutes and covered a distance of 1,618 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 12 miles northeast of Kumi in Uganda. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,121 feet above sea level to 10,026 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,096 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Lugazi in Uganda. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 19 miles southeast of Entebbe in Uganda. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 10,020 feet above sea level to 4,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,139 feet.
The final approach to runway 35 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 354.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,121 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 115 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,543 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,874 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 278 minutes. The aircraft used 31,617 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HUEN Entebbe International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 354.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,121 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 133 knots. The touchdown point was located 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe distance. The touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 115°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 2,543 meters was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path along the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
