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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 31 at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHX) at Kai Tak. The takeoff distance was 1,543 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 197 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Kowloon, a city in Hong Kong, and ascended from 1,068 feet above sea level to 38,163 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,095 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 58 miles south of Jiazi, a city in Guangdong Sheng, China, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 230 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles northeast of RCQC Penghu Magong Airport, Huxi, Taiwan, and descended from 38,654 feet above sea level to 1,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,266 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP) was made from the northeast, heading 229.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 360 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 1,276 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 466 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 8,895 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP) on runway 23L. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 97.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 114 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 360 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -315 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot had successfully arrested the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 125 knots was good.
The total landing distance of 1,276 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
