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 1,890 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,890 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft, departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) on runway 36L. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The takeoff roll began at 188 knots, with a takeoff distance of 2,067 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Halfweg, Netherlands, where the aircraft ascended from 1,058 feet above sea level to 28,729 feet, an increase of 27,671 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of Meiderich, Germany, and lasted for 92 minutes, covering 748 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another climb 6 miles southwest of Sugag, Romania, rising from 28,689 feet to 30,545 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise that started 6 miles west of Cainenii Mici, Romania, and lasted for 200 minutes, covering 1,601 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable ascents occurring 15 miles southeast of Urganch, Uzbekistan, 6 miles north of Gangga, China, and 6 miles north of Delingha, China. The aircraft also experienced several enroute descents, including a significant descent from 36,364 feet to 3,833 feet in 18 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 71.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters and a touchdown speed of 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,814 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 5,430 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 646 minutes and a fuel consumption of 95,454 kilograms.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) on runway 07L, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,814 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory.
