Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,619 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,348 ft 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 pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, with a takeoff distance of 4,059 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway.
As the aircraft lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 7 knots.
The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,166 feet above sea level to 38,413 feet, an increase of 37,247 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of 62XA Flying H Air Ranch Airport in Nacogdoches, Texas. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 38,382 feet to 40,301 feet, an increase of 1,919 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of Carthage, Arkansas, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 378 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 1 mile south-east of KVIG Virginia Airport in Virginia, Illinois. The descent from 40,335 feet to 7,349 feet, a decrease of 32,987 feet, took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent. This descent started overhead Forest Park, Illinois, and took the aircraft from 6,853 feet to 1,767 feet, a decrease of 5,085 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,089 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,354 feet and a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 17 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 4,114 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 824 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 34,120 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,089 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,354 feet, but the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly higher than desired. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 89°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14 feet, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,114 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
