Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.3 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.3 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,966 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,966 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Auckland International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 10 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23L, utilizing 56% of the 3,300-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 179 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 35 knots from 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 27 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of Auckland International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,021 feet above sea level to 9,829 feet in 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The flight then transitioned into a series of level cruises, with the longest lasting 674 minutes and covering 2,026 nautical miles. The aircraft also underwent several climb phases, with the most significant increase in altitude occurring from 10,076 feet to 29,926 feet in 12 minutes, covering 91 nautical miles. The flight eventually began its descent, with the first phase commencing 9 miles south of Fazenda das Represas Airport in Brazil, and the final approach was made to runway 10R at André Franco Montoro International Airport.
The Boeing 777-300 landed on runway 10R, with a touchdown point 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,890 meters, utilizing 63% of the 2,996-meter runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 796 minutes and consuming 104,753 kilograms of fuel. The total flight distance was 6,625 nautical miles.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the west. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed of 142 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach.
However, the touchdown characteristics were not entirely optimal. The aircraft touched down 107 m beyond the touchdown zone, and at a speed of 136 kt, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -253 fpm was fair, but could have been improved upon. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
Despite these minor issues, the overall landing performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,890 m, which represented 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating excellent control and coordination from the flight crew. The landing score of 97.7% reflected the high standard of performance, with only minor areas for improvement identified. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, also contributed to the successful outcome.
