Maintain the centreline
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
The 306 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated for a take-off distance of 928 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and lifted off at 163 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 17 °C, wind 15 kt from 300°, with a crosswind component of 11 kt and a headwind component of 10 kt.
The en-route climb commenced overhead the airport, climbing from 1,032 ft asl to 1,455 ft asl - an increase of 423 ft - in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south-west of NZAA and was maintained for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 16 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L was executed from the east, on a heading of 255.0° at 2 nm and 781 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23L, which is 3,671 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 134 kt. Touchdown occurred 305 m down the runway at 128 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 163 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.8 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was a temperature of 15 °C, wind 13 kt from 300°, a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 9 kt. Total landing distance measured 686 m, equivalent to 19 % of the runway.
Runway rollout showed a slight misalignment of 8.4 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 20 nm, lasted 9 minutes, and consumed 25,519 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F established the final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport from the east on a heading of 255.0° at 2 nm and 781 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1 000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 13 kt from 300°, providing a 10 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 134 kt and the touchdown point was good at 305 m down the runway, indicating an appropriate flare and touchdown geometry.
Touchdown occurred at a good speed of 128 kt with a touchdown rate of -163 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 686 m, representing 19 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 96.0 %, the landing was strong; focus on reducing the centreline deviation at touchdown and maintaining alignment through rollout to tighten the margin of error.
