Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT), with a takeoff distance of 1,874 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 194 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cape Town, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 59°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of FACT, with the aircraft ascending from 1,221 feet above sea level to 31,284 feet, an increase of 30,063 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 15 miles west of Clanwilliam Airport (FACW), and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1,486 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 32,157 feet to 34,209 feet, an increase of 2,052 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This climb started 15 miles west of Ambriz Airport (FNAM) in Angola.
The enroute level cruise resumed 18 miles southwest of N'zeto in Angola, and lasted for 348 minutes, covering a distance of 1,429 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed once more, from 34,351 feet to 36,434 feet, an increase of 2,083 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This climb started 62 miles south of Agadez Airport (DRZA) in Niger.
The enroute level cruise began again 32 miles south of Agadez Airport, and lasted for 218 minutes, covering a distance of 1,541 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed once more, from 35,901 feet to 37,834 feet, an increase of 1,934 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This climb started 68 miles east of Begur in Spain.
The enroute level cruise resumed 66 miles south of Mazargues in France, and lasted for 61 minutes, covering a distance of 486 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Haynecourt in France, and descending from 37,254 feet to 5,049 feet, a decrease of 32,205 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began again 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen in the Netherlands, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of IJmuiden in the Netherlands, and descending from 5,054 feet to 1,266 feet, a decrease of 3,788 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was made from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 237 meters, and a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 21
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach to runway 18R was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The threshold speed of 146 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 237 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was still within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 21 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even more challenging. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and direction in the face of a significant headwind was impressive.
The total landing distance of 1,482 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's speed, direction, and altitude during the approach and touchdown phases. The high score of 97.9% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
