Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,556 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,556 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-200ER then commenced its departure roll on runway 34R, utilizing 985 meters, or 33% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 163 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a gentle headwind of 8 knots at 339°.
As the aircraft climbed out of RJTT, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile north of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,012 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 41,554 feet, a vertical gain of 40,541 feet, in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 173 nautical miles. Following a brief enroute level cruise of 2 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent approximately 7 miles east of Hanawa, Japan. The descent phase saw the aircraft lose 40,264 feet in altitude over a period of 19 minutes, covering 160 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01R at RJCC New Chitose Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the south at an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 777-200ER touched down on runway 01R at RJCC New Chitose Airport, utilizing 1,472 meters, or 49% of the runway's length, to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop in the parking area. The total flight distance was 444 nautical miles, with a flight time of 44 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 7,119 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-200ER touched down smoothly on runway 01R at RJCC New Chitose Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,259 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 353.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory threshold speed of 133 knots, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown point was located 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 11 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,472 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was deemed highly satisfactory, with a score of 98.9%. The combination of good approach quality, controlled touchdown, and precise rollout alignment resulted in a successful landing.
