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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 3,347 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 660 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
The aircraft departed runway 27 at RJSS Sendai Airport, achieving a takeoff roll of 1,573 m 53 % of runway and a liftoff speed of 168 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 26 °C, wind 2 kt from 10°, with a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of RJSS, with the flight ascending from 1,017 ft asl to 35,768 ft asl - an increase of 34,751 ft - over 25 minutes while covering 149 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 15 miles north-west of Joetsu (Niigata-ken, Japan) and persisted for 142 minutes, during which 1,064 nm were flown.
Descent started 49 miles north-east of Jiufen (Taipei, Taiwan), descending from 36,003 ft asl to 4,660 ft asl - a loss of 31,342 ft - in 13 minutes and covering 88 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 12 miles north of Hsinchu (Taiwan, Taiwan) and lasting 3 minutes for a distance of 13 nm.
The subsequent descent began 6 miles north of Hsinchu, dropping from 4,001 ft asl to 1,372 ft asl - a decrease of 2,629 ft - in 4 minutes and spanning 11 nm.
During final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,336 ft agl to 138 ft agl in 104 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 05R at RCTP, whose length is 3,347 m, the threshold height at 90 ft agl was significantly above target and the threshold speed was 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 201 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 439 fpm and a runway touchdown position misaligned by 13.1 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 60°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 4 kt. Total landing distance was 3,330 m, 99 % of runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,333nm, took 201, and consumed 18,702 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A330-900 executed a final approach to runway 05R at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,336 ft agl to 138 ft agl in 104 seconds and earned points for meeting the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft was 90 ft agl, which was significantly above target, while the threshold speed was good at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 201 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 135 kt that was a little fast and a hard rate of descent measured at minus 439 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 13.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 3,330 m, representing 99 % of the 3,347 m runway. Local weather was 26 °C with wind 4 kt at 60 °, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 13.0 m from the centreline.
Refine the flare to achieve the intended threshold height and moderate the touchdown rate to reduce the hard impact, while using precise alignment cues to bring the touchdown point within the intended zone and improve centreline tracking.
