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 4,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, the Boeing 787-9 began its journey with a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 07, utilizing 1,226 meters, or 34% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 139 degrees, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 119 nautical miles, increasing its altitude from 902 feet above sea level to 37,018 feet in 17 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 26 miles southeast of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, lasting 114 minutes and covering 897 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,804 feet to 4,324 feet in 16 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near Katsuura, Japan, the aircraft continued its descent, eventually landing on runway 34L at Narita International Airport.
The final approach to runway 34L was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 329.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,204 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was executed at an altitude of 141 feet above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 34L, with a touchdown point 182 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, or 34% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,244 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 17,281 kilograms and a flight duration of 203 minutes.
The Boeing 787-9 touched down on runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport with a threshold speed of 140 kt, meeting the target. However, the aircraft landed 182 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly longer than ideal touchdown distance. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was within the acceptable range, and the firm touchdown rate of -315 fpm suggested a controlled descent.
Despite a good threshold speed, the approach quality was compromised by a threshold height at 64 ft agl that was above the target. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 60 °, did not pose significant challenges to the landing. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.5 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the slightly longer than ideal touchdown distance.
The total landing distance of 1,415 m was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.3 m from the centreline, suggesting that the pilot may have struggled to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing scored 83.5%, reflecting a good threshold speed and touchdown speed, but compromised approach quality and alignment issues during the rollout phase.
