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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) in Saint Martin. The takeoff distance was 960 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it started to ascend from 1,071 feet above sea level to 33,952 feet, an increase of 32,882 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Marigot, and the aircraft continued to climb to higher altitudes throughout the flight. The first level cruise phase began 26 miles north of the British Virgin Islands and lasted for 96 minutes, covering 771 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, this time from 34,655 feet to 36,105 feet, an increase of 1,450 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The second level cruise phase started at a latitude of 28.5070135 and a longitude of -74.357328 and lasted for 179 minutes, covering 1,438 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes and locations throughout the flight.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft underwent another climb phase, this time from 35,955 feet to 37,974 feet, an increase of 2,019 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The third level cruise phase started 2 miles north of Stuart, Nebraska, and lasted for 122 minutes, covering 916 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 38,194 feet to 2,956 feet, a decrease of 35,238 feet in 23 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) was made from the south, heading 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34L, which had a length of 2,590 meters. The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,444 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,381 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 456 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 53,943 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34L. The final approach was executed from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 98.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 49 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.4 meters, which may require some adjustments during future approaches. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,444 meters was 56% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient space to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely on the runway. However, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the runway alignment during future approaches.
