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.

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 1,527 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,527 m of the 3,655 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, then departed from runway 25L at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,154 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,058 feet above sea level to 42,746 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,688 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 21 miles northwest of Bao Loc, Vietnam. This phase lasted for 140 minutes and covered a distance of 1,009 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles west of RCKU Chiayi Airport, Chiayi City, Taiwan. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 42,496 feet above sea level to 1,390 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,106 feet.
The final approach to runway 05L at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 49.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 05L, which had a length of 3,655 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 422 meters, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -381 feet per minute.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,453 meters, which was 40% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,200 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 200 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 16,430 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 05L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 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 139 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 422 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 134 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and precision. The touchdown rate was firm at -381 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.0 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220°, may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing roll. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,453 meters was within 40% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.0 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's reaction to the slight crosswind or tailwind. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal.
