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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 18 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 18 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
During the departure roll on runway 23L the aircraft accelerated to a rotation speed of 146 kt and lifted off after a takeoff distance of 1,369 m, representing 37 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 290°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced one mile south-west of the airport, where the airplane rose from 1,013 ft asl to 1,456 ft asl, an increase of 443 ft achieved in one minute while covering one nautical mile.
Level cruise began at the same point one mile south-west of the field and continued for five minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 13 nm.
On final approach to runway 23L the aircraft descended from 1,351 ft agl to 66 ft agl in 104 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 165 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 122 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 397 fpm. The touchdown point was laterally offset by 18.2 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 18 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 290°, comprising a 3 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,063 m, equivalent to 29 % of the runway.
Rollout after touchdown covered the 1,063 m landing distance, and the aircraft’s runway alignment was misaligned by 18.0 m from the centreline during the rollout phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than one minute, traversing less than one nautical mile.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 39 nm, took 8 (units not specified), and consumed 73,146 kg of fuel.
