Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 41 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport in Japan. The takeoff distance was 7,444 feet, which was 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 190 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 320°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of RJAA Narita International Airport. The climb was from 1,089 feet above sea level to 31,106 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,016 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 84 miles east of Asahi, Japan, and lasted for 121 minutes, covering a distance of 5,716 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead 4N8 White Birch Hancock in New York, United States, where the aircraft descended from 31,234 feet above sea level to 22,454 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,780 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of Cragsmoor, New York, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The enroute descent then started 2 miles southwest of NK07 Big Island Airport Goshen, New York, where the aircraft descended from 22,263 feet above sea level to 10,015 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,248 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Madison, New Jersey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute descent then started overhead Waldwick, New Jersey, where the aircraft descended from 10,007 feet above sea level to 2,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,274 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile southeast of Harrison, New Jersey, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute climb then started 1 mile southwest of Financial District, New York, where the aircraft climbed from 2,120 feet above sea level to 3,299 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,179 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Woodside, New York, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent then started overhead Harlem, New York, where the aircraft descended from 3,038 feet above sea level to 1,266 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,773 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was from the northeast, heading 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,083 feet and a touchdown speed of 158 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 10°.
The total landing
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to the runway was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and a speed that was well above the target threshold speed of 162 kt. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and ensure a safe and stable approach to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 1,083 feet, which is within the acceptable range for a runway of this length. However, the touchdown speed of 158 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may indicate that the pilots could have applied more braking or reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down more quickly.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -85 fpm was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly and maintain control. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 30°F and winds of 2 kt at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance of 4,370 feet, which is 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.
