Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 24 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 20 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,258 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,258 ft of the 11,109 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,692 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 20R at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 20R, the aircraft used 7,931 ft of runway, representing 58 % of the available length, and lifted off at 181 kt; ambient conditions were 90 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 210°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
The initial climb began 2 mi south-west of VTBS, where the airplane rose from 978 ft asl to 33,548 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,570 ft achieved in 18 minutes while traversing 121 nm.
Level cruise commenced 22 mi north-west of Bo Phloi and continued for 135 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,104 nm.
A subsequent climb started 11 mi north-west of Bemetara, raising the aircraft from 34,193 ft asl to 35,982 ft asl, a gain of 1,789 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 27 nm.
The next cruise segment began 16 mi west of Kawardha and lasted 210 minutes, during which 1,719 nm were flown.
Descent operations were initiated 2 mi west of OIBQ Khark Airport, with the airplane descending from 35,928 ft asl to 1,475 ft asl, a loss of 34,453 ft in 23 minutes while covering 123 nm.
On final approach to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International, the aircraft descended from 1,364 ft agl to 98 ft agl in 93 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 33L, which is 11,109 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown occurred 316 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 133 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 145 fpm and a lateral deviation of 22 ft from the centreline. Local weather was 88 °F, wind 4 kt from 0°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 5,982 ft, equivalent to 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,104 nm, required 408 minutes of flight time, and consumed 115,933 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER conducted a stabilised approach to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International, with the stabilisation assessment recorded as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate. Gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,364 ft AGL to 98 ft AGL in 93 seconds, scoring on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was recorded as good at 140 kt and the threshold height was described as good. The flare resulted in a touchdown point 316 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt judged good and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 145 fpm. Lateral alignment at touchdown was slightly off centreline by 22 ft.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft crossing the runway threshold at the noted speed and rate, the touchdown point remaining 316 ft beyond the designated zone and the centreline deviation of 22 ft persisting. The landing distance measured 5,982 ft, representing 54 % of the 11,109-ft runway length.
Rollout was completed with the aircraft travelling the recorded 5,982 ft and maintaining very good alignment throughout the rollout phase.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the 22-ft lateral deviation and bringing the touchdown point closer to the intended touchdown zone to maximise runway utilisation and maintain optimal centreline tracking.
