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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,610 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,610 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 329 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, with the aircraft taking off after covering 88% of the 2,194-meter runway. The liftoff speed was 216 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 283°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of Agua de Pena, Madeira, Portugal. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 998 feet above sea level to 29,678 feet, an increase of 28,680 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 53 miles north of Porto Moniz, Madeira, Portugal, and lasted for 61 minutes, covering a distance of 447 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,029 feet to 32,002 feet, an increase of 1,973 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 35.4392341 and a longitude of -26.6889939, and lasted for 102 minutes, covering a distance of 645 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes, distances, and durations. The aircraft climbed from 30,800 feet to 32,128 feet, an increase of 1,328 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. It then began another level cruise phase, which lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 463 nautical miles. The flight continued in this manner, with the aircraft climbing and cruising at various altitudes and distances.
As the flight approached its destination, the aircraft began its descent, which started approximately 4 miles north of Dunnigan, California, United States. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,642 feet to 10,848 feet, a decrease of 26,795 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 298.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,228 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 145 knots and a distance of 332 meters. The touchdown rate was very hard at -534 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in approximately 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,186 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 812 minutes. The aircraft
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 145 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 332 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed was a little fast, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 1,538 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -534 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the touchdown rate.
