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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,576 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-8 taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport, covering 3 nm in 7 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 08, using 1,232 m (40 % of the runway) for the takeoff. Liftoff occurred at 147 kt. Ambient temperature was 34 °C with wind from 109° at 6 kt, including a 5 kt headwind and 4 kt crosswind.
Climb began overhead MDPC, ascending from 1,040 ft asl to 37,472 ft asl, a gain of 36,431 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 111 nm.
The first cruise segment started 82 miles south of MDPU Mona Airport and continued for 25 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 189 nm at level flight.
Descent commenced 78 miles north of Sabana Westpunt, descending from 38,006 ft asl to 8,497 ft asl, a loss of 29,510 ft over 16 minutes and 105 nm.
A brief cruise followed 13 miles south-west of Dorp Soto, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The next descent began 18 miles south-west of Dorp Soto, dropping from 8,168 ft asl to 2,967 ft asl, a decrease of 5,202 ft in 5 minutes across 16 nm.
A further cruise segment occurred 7 miles west of Dorp Soto, lasting 3 minutes and encompassing 8 nm.
The final descent started 3 miles south of Dorp Soto, reducing altitude from 2,491 ft asl to 1,343 ft asl, a loss of 1,148 ft in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 11 at TNCC Hato International Airport from the west, on a heading of 104.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 11, which is 2,576 m long. The threshold speed was 129 kt; touchdown occurred at 127 kt after a 296 m ground roll. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 174 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 16.0 m from the centreline. Ambient temperature was 32 °C with wind from 90° at 8 kt, comprising an 8 kt headwind and 2 kt crosswind.
Total landing distance measured 959 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and the rollout remained misaligned by 16.0 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 1 minute.
Overall, the flight covered 449 nm in 80 minutes and consumed 5,459 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 787-8 approached runway 11 at TNCC Hato International Airport from the west on a heading of 104.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 129 kt and a good threshold height. The flare resulted in a touchdown distance of 296 m, a touchdown speed of 127 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 174 fpm, each judged good.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft 16.0 m off the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 959 m, representing 37 % of the 2,576 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned by 16.0 m from the centreline.
Improving centreline alignment on final approach and maintaining it through touchdown and rollout will reduce the 16.0 m deviation observed. Maintaining the current speed and rate management will preserve the strong overall performance reflected in the 91.5 % score.
