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 32 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 145 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt against a target of 145 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 145 kt at the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,049 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,049 ft of the 13,554 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,009 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Takeoff roll on runway 33L was 8,276 ft, representing 74 % of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at 184 kt. Ambient temperature was 105 °F with wind 8 kt from 350°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.
Climb commenced one mile south of Al Farwaniyah, rising from 1,105 ft asl to 32,999 ft asl, an altitude gain of 31,894 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 135 nm.
Level cruise began one mile west of OIBQ Khark Airport and continued for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 91 nm.
A second climb segment started 23 miles east of Kazerun, increasing altitude from 32,971 ft asl to 34,572 ft asl, a gain of 1,601 ft in 2 minutes over 14 nm.
The following cruise phase originated 9 miles southwest of Shiraz and lasted 211 minutes, covering 1,820 nm.
Climb resumed six miles northwest of Kaintragarh, raising the aircraft from 35,379 ft asl to 36,930 ft asl, a climb of 1,551 ft completed in 2 minutes across 14 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment began ten miles east of Kaintragarh and persisted for 109 minutes, during which 899 nm were flown.
Descent began 29 miles northwest of Bo Phloi, descending from 36,990 ft asl to 3,706 ft asl, a loss of 33,284 ft in 18 minutes while covering 113 nm.
A brief level cruise followed three miles east of Ban Lam Luk Ka, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.
Descent continued five miles northeast of VTY9 Minburi, dropping from 3,446 ft asl to 1,245 ft asl, a decrease of 2,201 ft in 2 minutes over 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport involved a descent from 1,295 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 88 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilization gates.
The aircraft landed on runway 19L, whose length is 13,554 ft, with a threshold speed of 152 kt. Touchdown occurred 671 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 179 fpm, and perfect runway alignment. Local weather reported temperature 81 °F, wind 2 kt from 140°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 6,811 ft, representing 50 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 3,110 nm, required 400 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 113,700 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The final descent covered the interval from 1,295 ft AGL to 74 ft AGL in 88 seconds, and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 152 kt. The aircraft continued the flare within the expected parameters, preparing for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 671 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 142 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 179 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout used a total landing distance of 6,811 ft, representing 50 % of the 13,554 ft runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Minor refinements include reducing the touchdown speed a few knots to better match the target and aiming for a touchdown point closer to the designated zone to optimise runway utilisation.
