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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,985 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,223 ft touchdown sits inside 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 24L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,955 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from Montreal, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Dorval, Quebec, Canada. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,169 feet above sea level to 35,174 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,004 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Saint-Ephrem-de-Beauce, Quebec, Canada. This cruise phase lasted for 381 minutes and covered a distance of 3,301 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles south of Rohrmoos, Steiermark, Austria. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 35,268 feet above sea level to 7,697 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,571 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Attendorf, Steiermark, Austria. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles east of Stallhof, Steiermark, Austria. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 7,431 feet above sea level to 2,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,061 feet.
The final approach to runway 34C at LOWG Graz Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34C was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,228 feet. The touchdown rate was firm at -367 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,919 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,513 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 445 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 114,989 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at LOWG Graz Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 34C, which has a length of 8,985 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance of 1,228 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -367 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This suggests that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilots. The total landing distance of 3,919 feet was 44% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the pilots' approach and landing procedures, and their ability to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision.
