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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 3.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 718 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) and commenced the take-off roll, using 1,215 m of runway which represents 33 % of the available length. Liftoff was achieved at 152 kt under local conditions of 14 °C, a wind of 21 kt from 283°, with a 11 kt cross-wind component and a 17 kt head-wind component.
Climb began approximately one mile south-west of NZAA, with the aircraft ascending from 979 ft asl to 1,462 ft asl, a gain of 482 ft achieved in one minute while covering three nautical miles.
Cruise was established three miles south of the airport and persisted for four minutes, during which the flight covered eleven nautical miles at level flight.
Descent for the final approach to runway 23L started from 1,299 ft agl and proceeded to 81 ft agl in 104 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
During the final approach the aircraft aligned with runway 23L, maintaining the same ambient temperature of 14 °C, wind 21 kt from 283°, cross-wind 11 kt and head-wind 17 kt as earlier reported.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m; the threshold speed was recorded as 150 kt. Touchdown occurred 297 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 217 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,219 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway.
Rollout showed a slight centreline deviation of 11.3 m as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
In total the flight covered 20 nm, required approximately 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,360 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F commenced its final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline. The aircraft descended from 1,299 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 104 seconds while the local weather was 14 °C with wind 21 kt from 283°, comprising an 11 kt crosswind component and a 17 kt head-wind. The approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 150 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation from the expected profile.
Touchdown occurred 297 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 136 kt. The vertical touchdown rate was fair at minus 217 fpm and the touchdown point was laterally misaligned by 10.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,219 m, representing 33 % of the 3,671 m runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, drifting 11.3 m from the centreline before exiting the runway.
Coaching should concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment throughout the approach and touchdown phases to reduce lateral deviation, and on refining flare execution to achieve a more stabilized vertical rate. These adjustments will help convert the already strong 90.6 % score into an even higher performance.
