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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,724 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,724 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.81 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 20, using 1,289 m (39 % of runway). Liftoff was achieved at 152 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 6 °C, wind 6 kt from 253°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead NZCH, rising from 1,195 ft asl to 36,944 ft asl, an increase of 35,750 ft in 14 minutes while covering 82 nm.
Level cruise started overhead NZHR Hanmer Springs Airport and lasted 29 minutes, covering 218 nm.
Descent commenced 13 miles southeast of Urenui, descending from 37,002 ft asl to 3,865 ft asl, a loss of 33,136 ft in 25 minutes over 137 nm.
A brief level cruise began 5 miles northeast of NZAR Ardmore Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Descent resumed 5 miles south of NZKE Waiheke Reeve Airport, dropping from 3,746 ft asl to 2,697 ft asl, a decrease of 1,049 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
A further level cruise started 5 miles east of Pakuranga and continued for 14 minutes, covering 41 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl, descending from 1,384 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 98 seconds, with stabilisation gates scored.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, which is 3,671 m long. Threshold speed was 143 kt; touchdown occurred 399 m from the threshold at 142 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 397 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10.4 m from centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 12 °C, wind 3 kt from 0°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. Total landing distance measured 1,643 m (45 % of runway) and runway rollout alignment was off by 25.3 m from centreline.
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out and came to a stop, the runway rollout misalignment remaining at 25.3 m from centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 500 nm in 100 minutes and used 11,602 kg of fuel.
The Savage Cub established a final approach to runway 17 at M45 Alpine County, tracking a heading of 184.0° from the north and reaching the final-approach fix at 1 NM and 433 ft agl; the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 609 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 79 seconds, and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred on runway 17, whose length is 1,352 m. The aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 42 kt, slightly below the target, and touched down 123 m from the threshold at 38 kt, a little fast. The vertical touchdown rate was minus 52 fpm, rated excellent, and runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Total landing distance was 205 m, representing 15 % of the runway, and the local weather was 16 °C with wind 3 kt from 225°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine future performances, aim to achieve the target threshold speed and reduce touchdown speed to match the intended VREF, which will bring the touchdown point and speed within the optimal envelope.
