Monitor your taxi speed
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,661 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 30R at OMDB Dubai International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,334 m (33 % of runway) and lifted off at 165 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 40 °C, wind 4 kt from 320 °, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of OMDB, with the airplane climbing from 1,280 ft asl to 37,000 ft asl - an altitude gain of 35,720 ft - in 22 minutes while covering 148 nm.
The first cruise segment began about 7 miles north-west of FM04 Gulf of Oman Moving Carrier - CVN78 and continued for 115 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 978 nm.
Descent 1 started roughly 7 miles east of Ratangarh, Rajasthan, with a reduction from 36,996 ft asl to 2,598 ft asl - a loss of 34,398 ft - over 31 minutes and a distance of 183 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed, initiating 2 miles south of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and lasting 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
Descent 2 began about 2 miles east of VIDD Safdarjung Airport, New Delhi, descending from 2,583 ft asl to 1,865 ft asl - a decrease of 718 ft - in 2 minutes and traversing 4 nm.
On final approach to runway 27 at VIDP Indira Gandhi International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,141 ft agl to 124 ft agl in 100 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27 was achieved with a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred at 363 m down the runway at 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 308 fpm and perfect alignment. Local conditions were a temperature of 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 74 °, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,134 m (43 % of runway), and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering another 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,329 nm, lasted 186 minutes, and consumed 35,515 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A380-800 completed a stabilised approach to runway 27 at VIDP, with the stabilisation gates confirming gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,141 ft AGL to 124 ft AGL in 100 seconds, satisfying the scoring criteria for the approach phase and contributing to the overall score of 97.1 %.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 136 kt, meeting the expected parameters for a precise touchdown point.
Touchdown occurred 363 m down the runway at a good speed of 135 kt; the vertical speed was firm at minus 308 fpm while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,134 m, representing 43 % of the 2,661 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration.
Refining flare timing to achieve a slightly softer touchdown could reduce the firm vertical rate while preserving the aim point near 363 m. Maintaining the current approach stability and alignment will help retain the high overall performance score.
