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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 675 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after an 834 m ground run, representing 23 % of the available runway, with a liftoff speed of 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 13 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 260°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind component.
Climb began one mile south-west of the airport, where the aircraft rose from 1,016 ft asl to 1,407 ft asl, an altitude gain of 391 ft in one minute while covering two nautical miles.
Level cruise was established two miles south of NZAA and persisted for four minutes, during which the aircraft traversed twelve nautical miles.
During the final approach to runway 23L, the aircraft descended from 1,428 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 100 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed recorded was 149 kt. Touchdown occurred 255 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 485 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 12 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 260°, comprising a 2 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,320 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout showed a centreline misalignment of 15.8 m.
In total, the flight covered 21 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 34,654 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,428 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 100 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 149 kt, indicating that the aircraft met the required speed and altitude criteria before initiating the flare.
Touchdown occurred 255 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 132 kt that was judged good. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 485 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 1,320 m, representing 36 % of the 3,671 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment was misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline, showing a deviation from the intended track after touchdown.
Refine the flare technique to achieve a smoother touchdown and reduce the hard rate of minus 485 fpm. Enhance directional control in the early rollout to limit the 15.8 m centreline deviation and maintain a more precise track.
