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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,640 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,640 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 09 at Gibraltar Airport, LXGB. The takeoff distance was 876 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Gibraltar, where the aircraft climbed from 1,054 feet above sea level to 36,144 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,090 feet in 15 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southwest of Castillo de Locubin in Andalusia, Spain, and lasted 10 minutes, covering 87 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 5 miles northeast of Bolanos de Calatrava in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where it climbed from 36,146 feet to 37,568 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,422 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Arenas de San Juan in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and lasted 95 minutes, covering 733 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Cons-la-Grandville in Grand Est, France, where it descended from 38,262 feet to 9,997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,265 feet in 18 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bubenheim in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile east of Budenheim, where it descended from 9,949 feet to 4,448 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,501 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of Kiedrich in Hessen, Germany, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile north of Klein-Winternheim in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, where it descended from 4,015 feet to 1,604 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,411 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport, EDDF, was from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 11 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 07L, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The touchdown point was 134 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -168 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 3°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft took 11 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,081 nautical miles, taking 188 minutes, and
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 93.0%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 148 knots. However, the threshold height was well above the target, indicating a good margin for error. The landing was executed on the second attempt, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 134 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 3°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 93.0%. The deviations from the target values were minor, and the aircraft's performance was generally good.
