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 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT). The takeoff distance was 1,688 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 180 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20°C, wind speed of 6 knots at 129°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of FACT Cape Town International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,173 feet above sea level to 31,916 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,743 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles west of Clanwilliam Airport (FACW) and lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 627 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 8 miles east of Felsenech (FY12), where it climbed from 32,212 feet above sea level to 35,264 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,052 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Omatako Ranch (FY30) and lasted for 412 minutes, covering a distance of 3,310 nautical miles. Another enroute climb started 6 miles south of Touggourt Sidi Madhi Airport (DAUK), where the aircraft climbed from 33,376 feet above sea level to 35,300 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,924 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north west of Touggourt and lasted for 160 minutes, covering a distance of 1,053 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began an enroute descent overhead Vaulx-lez-Tournai, where it descended from 35,656 feet above sea level to 9,837 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,818 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Brielle and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. Another enroute descent started overhead Rijswijk, where the aircraft descended from 9,748 feet above sea level to 2,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,440 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of Almere Stad and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was from the east, heading 267.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with a touchdown distance of 388 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C, wind speed of 19 knots at 279°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,310 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. The touchdown distance of 388 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.6 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 279°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 19 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,310 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were able to overcome these challenges, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
