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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,821 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,821 m of the 2,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, runway 07R, with a takeoff distance of 3,137 meters, which was 102% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 189 knots, with a local temperature of 21°C and wind conditions of 10 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 2 miles east of the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 8,558 feet above sea level to 32,188 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The flight then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 202 minutes and covered 1,685 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes, with the final climb phase taking place approximately 6 miles northeast of YGIR Giralia Airport, Carnarvon, Australia. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 552 minutes and covered 1,957 nautical miles.
The flight began its descent phase approximately 5 miles northwest of Gunning, Australia, and descended from 37,999 feet to 4,995 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach to runway 16L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute. The aircraft landed 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a total landing distance of 1,739 meters, which was 80% of the runway length. The flight then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in 10 minutes. The total flight distance was 7,123 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 876 minutes and a fuel consumption of 123,918 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 16L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 kt, which may have been due to the prevailing headwind of 15 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady descent from 1,227 ft agl at 4 nm to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was well-managed at 134 kt, and the touchdown rate of -176 fpm was within acceptable limits. Although the touchdown point was 248 m beyond the touchdown zone, the aircraft's speed and rate of descent were good indicators of a controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,739 m was 80% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.4%. The good threshold height, controlled touchdown, and short rollout distance were notable aspects of the landing, although the slightly above-target threshold speed and slight misalignment from the centreline were areas for improvement.
