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.
Side view — the last 1,617 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,617 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Emirates flight, operated by aircraft A6-EVA, began its journey from Dubai International Airport (OMDB) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. After taxiing for 18 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles, the aircraft took off from runway 30L. The takeoff distance was 1,682 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The enroute climb started over OMDB, where the aircraft ascended from 1,013 feet above sea level to 34,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,991 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 596 minutes and covered a distance of 4,731 nautical miles. This phase took the aircraft south-west of Liwa in Oman, where it remained at an altitude of 34,005 feet above sea level. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,049 feet above sea level to 40,079 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,030 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 171 minutes and covered a distance of 1,435 nautical miles. This phase took the aircraft west of Dawesville in Western Australia, where it remained at an altitude of 40,079 feet above sea level. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 39,801 feet above sea level to 41,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,068 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 160 minutes and covered a distance of 1,382 nautical miles. This phase took the aircraft south-west of YBFB Balfour in Tasmania, Australia, where it remained at an altitude of 41,870 feet above sea level. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 86 miles west of NZTS Taharoa Aerodrome in New Zealand. The descent took the aircraft from 41,577 feet above sea level to 2,000 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,578 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered a short level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase took the aircraft north-east of NZAR Ardmore Airport in New Zealand, where it remained at an altitude of 2,000 feet above sea level. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA), where it landed from the east, heading 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 404 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 219°, with a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good
The Emirates aircraft, A6-EVA, successfully landed at Auckland International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 23L was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 23L, which has a length of 3,285 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also maintained, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 404 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair, at -214 feet per minute, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing of Emirates A6-EVA at Auckland International Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
