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 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 8.8 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 11 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.
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 1,855 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,855 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19L, the aircraft used 2,495 m of runway, representing 60 % of the available length, and lifted off at 179 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 33 °C, wind from 250 ° at 5 kt, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 3 miles south of VTBS, with the airplane ascending from 962 ft asl to 33,001 ft asl, an increase of 32,038 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 135 nm.
Level cruise began 23 miles west of VTKC Ko Chang Tai Airport and continued for 222 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 5,077 nm.
Descent was initiated 37 miles south-west of Rawene, New Zealand, with a reduction from 32,999 ft asl to 1,343 ft asl, a loss of 31,656 ft over 24 minutes and a distance of 136 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 251.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,315 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23L, which is 3,676 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 144 kt. The touchdown point was 93 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 138 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 170 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 8.9 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 11 kt from 0 °, a crosswind of 11 kt and a tailwind component of 4 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,784 m, equivalent to 49 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 5,357 nm, required 274 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 76,912 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 established final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,315 ft agl. Local weather was 14 °C with wind 11 kt from 0°, including an 11 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt tail-wind component.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 144 kt, which was rated as good.
Touchdown occurred 93 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 138 kt, noted as a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was minus 170 fpm, described as good. Touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 m from the centreline.
The aircraft required a total landing distance of 1,784 m, representing 49 % of the 3,676 m runway. Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 95.8 % the landing was strong overall; focus on reducing lateral deviation at touchdown and during rollout, and consider a modest reduction in touchdown speed to tighten alignment tolerances.
