Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 18, utilizing 1,378 meters, or 35% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany, reaching an altitude of 30,638 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 58 minutes and covering 487 nautical miles, before initiating a second climb phase 3 miles northeast of Misca, Romania. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 40,409 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 1,194 minutes and covering 4,863 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Hong Kong International Airport.
The final approach to runway 07L at VHHH was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft descending from 41,010 feet above sea level to 1,267 feet above sea level in 27 minutes, covering 167 nautical miles. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 321 meters of the available 3,731 meters, and touched down at a speed of 125 knots. The total landing distance was 1,693 meters, or 45% of the runway. Following a taxiing period of 11 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 5,734 nautical miles in 674 minutes, utilizing 68,185 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 72.0° from the south west at 4 nm and 1,227 ft above ground level. The threshold speed of 129 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 125 kt, which was a little fast but not excessively so.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 321 m and a touchdown rate of -174 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a light headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The rollout phase was largely uneventful, with the aircraft coming to a stop at a total distance of 1,693 m, which represented 45% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, earning a score of 97.5%.
