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 5,608 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,608 ft of the 8,550 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,082 ft 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. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 30R at OBBI Bahrain International Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering 80% of the runway's length, which was 8,815 feet. The liftoff speed was 189 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its initial altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of Al Muharraq. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 36,978 feet, an increase of 35,959 feet.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 12 miles northwest of OMAS Das Island Airport. This cruise phase lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 27 miles southwest of OMSN Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 37,473 feet to 38,752 feet, an increase of 1,279 feet.
The enroute climb was followed by another level cruise, which started 24 miles northwest of Abu Dhabi. This cruise phase lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 9 miles southeast of OMAK Al Ain Airport. The climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 39,048 feet to 40,314 feet, an increase of 1,266 feet.
The enroute climb was followed by another level cruise, which started 34 miles north of `Ibri. This cruise phase lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent, which started 23 miles north of `Ibri. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,283 feet to 39,210 feet, a decrease of 1,074 feet.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 23 miles northeast of `Ibri. This cruise phase lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 26 miles northwest of Bahla'. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,424 feet to 37,029 feet, a decrease of 1,395 feet.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 16 miles north of Bahla'. This cruise phase lasted 67 minutes and covered a distance of 549 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute climb, which started at a latitude of 16.315273 and a longitude of 63.7240928. The climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 37,005 feet to 38,977 feet, an increase of 1,972 feet.
The enroute climb was followed by another level cruise, which started at a latitude of 15.9420505 and a longitude of 64.0442756. This cruise phase lasted 62 minutes and covered a distance of 474 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent, which started at a latitude of 9.780422 and a longitude of 69.134
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,076 feet, which is within the acceptable range for the runway length of 8,550 feet. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -552 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate some issues with the aircraft's descent or landing configuration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 350°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 5,346 feet was 63% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 51 feet from the centreline, which may indicate some issues with the aircraft's braking or steering performance during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and adjustments to the aircraft's configuration and performance.
