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 1,725 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,725 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 12L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 2,463 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 188 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 42°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 60°. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of OMDB and reached an altitude of 33,327 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,291 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles east of Lekhwair Airport (OOLK) and lasted for 183 minutes, covering a distance of 1,537 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb to higher altitudes, with the next enroute climb starting 68 miles east of Jamaame, Somalia. This climb reached an altitude of 35,104 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,792 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 63 miles east of Jamaame and lasted for 191 minutes, covering a distance of 1,499 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb to higher altitudes, with the next enroute climb starting 13 miles south west of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. This climb reached an altitude of 37,029 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,091 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south east of Plumtree, Zimbabwe and lasted for 116 minutes, covering a distance of 849 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 16 miles south west of Clanwilliam Airport (FAFD) in South Africa. The descent from 36,314 feet above sea level to 3,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,708 feet in 18 minutes, covered a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, starting 4 miles south west of Stellenbosch Airport (FASH) and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 12 miles west of Grabouw, South Africa. The descent from 2,984 feet above sea level to 2,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 505 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another short level cruise phase, starting 12 miles east of Simon's Town, South Africa and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT), heading 345.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01 at FACT was successful, with a touchdown point 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 10°.
The total landing distance was 1,643 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 01, which has a length of 3,210 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed. Despite this, the touchdown rate was reported as smooth, with a rate of -141 feet per minute. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing, even if the speed was not ideal.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 5 knots, were not particularly challenging, but the crosswind of 2 knots may have played a role in the misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,643 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment during the touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement. The pilot demonstrated good control of the aircraft during the landing, but may need to work on managing the speed and alignment more effectively.
