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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,392 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 747-8 taxied from the parking area to runway 23R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in 10 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 159 kt and left the ground after traveling 950 m, which represented 26 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 29 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 170°, a cross-component of 7 kt and a headwind component of 4 kt.
Climb commenced overhead RCTP, rising from 1,076 ft asl to 30,025 ft asl - an altitude gain of 28,948 ft - in 11 minutes while covering 56 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 mi north-west of RCMQ Taichung International Airport and continued for 51 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 317 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 5 mi north of Jieshi, China, with the aircraft descending from 29,807 ft asl to 6,204 ft asl - a loss of 23,603 ft - over 14 minutes and a distance of 98 nm.
A brief cruise followed 10 mi north of Shenzhen, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The next descent began 8 mi north-east of ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, dropping from 5,664 ft asl to 2,417 ft asl - a decrease of 3,247 ft - in 3 minutes while traveling 14 nm.
A further level cruise segment originated 6 mi south of Dongguan, persisting for 6 minutes and spanning 16 nm.
On final approach to runway 15 at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, the aircraft aligned from the north-west on a heading of 153.0° at 4 nm and 1,224 ft agl.
Landing on runway 15 was executed with a threshold speed of 139 kt; touchdown occurred 56 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, a rate of -67 fpm, and a lateral offset of 5.8 m from the centreline. The runway length is 3,392 m, and the total landing distance measured 1,397 m (41 % of runway). Local conditions were 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 120°, crosswind 2 kt and headwind 3 kt.
Rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 14.9 m as the aircraft decelerated after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 516 nm, required 86 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 12,146 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 747-8 approached runway 15 at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 153.0° at 4 nm and 1,224 ft agl, with a temperature of 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 120°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 139 kt.
Touchdown occurred 56 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, with an excellent touchdown rate of -67 fpm and a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,397 m, representing 41 % of the 3,392 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 m from the centreline.
To tighten the touchdown point, aim to reduce the offset by adjusting the flare timing and aim point. Improving rollout alignment by refining directional control during the final roll will further enhance precision, supporting the strong 94.8 % score.
