Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,699 m of the 3,885 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 32R at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (WMKK). The takeoff distance was 2,437 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 198 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and no wind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 3 miles north of WMKK and reaching an altitude of 32,899 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant one, increasing the aircraft's altitude by 31,836 feet in just 21 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
After the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 388 minutes and covered a distance of 3,354 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 23 miles south of Batu Pahat, Malaysia.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Carcoar, Australia. The descent was steep, decreasing the aircraft's altitude by 31,506 feet in just 24 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered its final approach phase, heading towards runway 34L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) from the south.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were slightly different, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 148 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,630 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight was a long one, covering a total distance of 3,572 nautical miles and taking 444 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total of 62,110 kilograms consumed during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 151 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 148 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 122 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. 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 characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,630 meters was 42% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability during the landing, and that the pilots were able to execute a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at YSSY was considered a success, with a high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilots. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards for a commercial airliner, and the landing was executed in a safe and efficient manner.
