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.
Side view — the last 1,894 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,894 m of the 3,655 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a 20-minute taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-200ER then took off from runway 24 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 1,372 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 33 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a 5-knot crosswind and a 33-knot headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug, Netherlands, and ascended from 999 feet above sea level to 34,644 feet, a vertical increase of 33,644 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 160 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles northwest of Willebadessen, Germany, and lasted for 210 minutes, covering a distance of 1,649 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 7 miles northwest of Qirmizi Samux, Azerbaijan, and ascended from 35,410 feet to 37,392 feet, a vertical increase of 1,981 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 8 miles northwest of Mingelchaur, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 198 minutes, covering a distance of 1,718 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 4 miles southeast of Sirsi, India, and ascended from 38,608 feet to 40,624 feet, a vertical increase of 2,016 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started again 2 miles southeast of Wazirganj, India, and lasted for 166 minutes, covering a distance of 1,312 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 16 miles northwest of Miyang, China, and ascended from 40,696 feet to 42,668 feet, a vertical increase of 1,972 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once more 8 miles north of Miyang, China, and lasted for 112 minutes, covering a distance of 890 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles southeast of RCWA Wang'an Airport, Taiwan, and descended from 41,818 feet to 1,354 feet, a vertical decrease of 40,464 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05L at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,655 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 414 meters.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 240 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 6-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,821
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 05L, which has a length of 3,655 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 kt, coming in at 138 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 414 meters, which is within the expected range for a Boeing 777-200ER. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 kt, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much force, which can put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially lead to damage.
One of the notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 19.8 meters. This misalignment can make it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain control during the rollout phase, and may require additional corrections from the pilots.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 6 kt. These conditions were generally favorable for the landing, although the tailwind may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,821 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This is a relatively normal landing distance for a Boeing 777-200ER. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.0 meters from centerline, which is similar to the misalignment at touchdown. This repeated misalignment may indicate a need for additional training or practice for the pilots to improve their alignment skills.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including the slightly fast touchdown speed, firm touchdown rate, and repeated misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
