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 1,805 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,805 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH). The takeoff distance was 2,473 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Hong Kong, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles north of Tung Chung. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,031 feet above sea level to 30,681 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 65 miles north of Pratas Island and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 1,396 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles north of Iida in Japan. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 31,700 feet to 33,094 feet.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southwest of Hokuto, Japan, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 2,171 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 100 miles northwest of Atka Airport in Alaska. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 33,753 feet to 35,719 feet.
The enroute level cruise resumed 74 miles north of Atka Airport and lasted for 48 minutes, covering a distance of 1,796 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles southwest of Tofino in Canada. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,431 feet to 1,294 feet.
The final approach to runway 08R at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) was made from the west, heading 100.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08R, which had a length of 3,284 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,729 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,698 nautical miles, and the flight took 177 minutes. The aircraft used 95,136 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08R, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit more thrust than necessary during the flare. The touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The touchdown point was located 151 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a light wind of 3 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were relatively favorable for landing.
The total landing distance of 1,729 meters was 53% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.9%. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and position, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the pilot's technique.
