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. These checks are the approach's score.

The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International. The taxi-out required 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 6,364 ft, representing 57 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 169 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 105 °F, wind 4 kt from 20°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Al Farwaniyah, rising from 1,123 ft asl to 38,000 ft asl, an increase of 36,878 ft in 17 minutes while covering 117 nm.
Level cruise began 15 miles north-east of OEPK Ipsa 3 Airport, Hafar al Batin, and continued for 72 minutes, during which 542 nm were flown.
Descent started 22 miles north-east of Rabigh, descending from 37,784 ft asl to 1,260 ft asl, a loss of 36,524 ft in 23 minutes and covering 123 nm.
The final approach to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport involved a descent from 1,261 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 94 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 34R was executed with a runway length of 13,167 ft. The threshold speed was 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 823 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 122 fpm and a lateral deviation of 13 ft from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 86 °F, wind 3 kt from 350°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 6,431 ft, representing 49 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 7 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 793 nm, required 132 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 32,496 lbs of fuel.
The approach to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,261 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 94 seconds while maintaining the required parameters, and the local weather was 86 °F with wind 3 kt from 350°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 146 kt, indicating an appropriate flare initiation and energy management for the landing.
Touchdown occurred 823 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 135 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 122 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 ft from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 6,431 ft, representing 49 % of the 13,167 ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the 13 ft lateral deviation from the centreline and adjusting the touchdown point to be closer to the intended aim point about 1,000 ft (300 m) down the runway. Aligning more precisely with the centreline and aim point will further optimise runway usage and maintain the high overall score.
