Aileron Drag:
Regarding the PH being a bit overwhelmed by the 777, you have reminded me of my very first 777 landing. We had a 'zero hour' sim, so base-training was not needed. How the hell they got that authority is beyond me, because the flare in the sim bore no relation to the real aircraft. I made a horrible mess of that first landing, and aged the trainer in the RHS by about ten years.
The system seems to have tried to set you up for failure there.
Just curious: how many times had you seen the sight picture of a landing when not at the controls in the aircraft, versus the sim?
From what you shared there, it sounds like "zero" but I may be assuming too much.
