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.

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 1,795 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,795 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 544 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 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 36 at Malé International Airport (VRMM). The takeoff distance was 1,403 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Hulhumale, a location in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The aircraft climbed from 1,021 feet above sea level to 38,531 feet, an increase of 37,510 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of 4.0302525 and a longitude of 75.7069216, lasting 86 minutes and covering 642 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb at a latitude of 3.3930904 and a longitude of 86.4184397, climbing from 38,551 feet to 39,947 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a latitude of 3.3796653 and a longitude of 86.6456967, lasting 83 minutes and covering 922 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 40,504 feet above sea level to 7,935 feet, a decrease of 32,569 feet in 20 minutes, covering 117 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north-east of Johor Bahru, Malaysia, lasting 18 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent from 7,887 feet to 1,299 feet in 6 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20R at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS) was made from the north, heading 203.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 129 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,715 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,842 nautical miles, taking 227 minutes and using 28,607 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Singapore Changi Airport's runway 20R, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the threshold height was satisfactory.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 129 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 135 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The touchdown point was 129 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,715 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
