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 2,181 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,181 m of the 4,104 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 602 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 20R at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 2,580 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 87 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 33,992 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 132 nautical miles and took 22 minutes.
The enroute level cruise phase started 16 miles east of Dawei Airport in Myanmar and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1,411 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 33,997 feet to 35,833 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,836 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles and took place 6 miles northwest of Vaijapur in India.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles west of Yeola in India and lasting for 128 minutes, covering a distance of 1,035 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent phase, starting 18 miles northwest of Ibri Airport in Oman and descending from 35,999 feet to 4,019 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,980 feet in 24 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 9 miles north of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and lasting for just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting 7 miles northeast of Abu Dhabi and descending from 3,536 feet to 1,354 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,182 feet in 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at Zayed International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 128.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 2,100 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 2,729 nautical miles, taking a total of 381 minutes and using 53,195 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 13R was initiated from the northwest, with a heading of 128.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 151 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was located 187 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.8 meters, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 57°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,100 meters was 51% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
