Can't speak for B777, the the B747-400 is very sensitive to tyre speed limits with any tailwind component at max brakes release weight.
Tootle pip!!
It’s Civil Aviation Order 20.7.1B for the regulator that invented regulatory reform that increases complexity. FAR 25 would be too simple, that is just one line !!

LAX-HKG is shorter than LAX-SYD great circle, it is normally 1-2 hrs longer flight time due headwinds. The winter jet stream around Japan can get up to 300 kts, it is depressing to see a ground speed around 300-350 kts for hours on end. Yesterday’s LAX-SYD around 14:30, LAX-HKG 15:45.
