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.

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 1,723 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,723 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 30R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 2,390 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 185 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dubai International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,035 feet above sea level to 16,597 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,562 feet in 8 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 17 miles northeast of Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport (OMSN). This phase lasted 2 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, ascending from 16,704 feet above sea level to 34,749 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,045 feet in 11 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, including a 99-minute level cruise phase starting 38 miles north of Das Island Airport (OMAS), which covered 1,157 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced a short climb phase, ascending from 34,112 feet above sea level to 36,090 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,978 feet in 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began a descent phase, starting 19 miles south of Pantelleria Airport (LICG). The aircraft descended from 35,906 feet above sea level to 3,020 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,886 feet in 14 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of La Goulette, which lasted 15 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 5 miles southwest of Korbous, with the aircraft descending from 3,014 feet above sea level to 1,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,729 feet in 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 29 at Tunis Carthage International Airport (DTTA), flying from the east at a heading of 293.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 29, which had a length of 2,644 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,644 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 252 minutes. The aircraft used 50,612 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 293.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 149 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,644 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly controlled during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling during the final approach and landing phases.
