Slow down before tight turns
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 six checks at 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 1,857 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,857 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 627 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in 5 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the aircraft used 1,813 m of runway, representing 58 % of the available length, and lifted off at 178 kt; ambient temperature was 10 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 170°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-east of SAEZ, climbing from 1,045 ft asl to 33,914 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,869 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 157 nm.
Level cruise commenced 8 nm north-west of Olavarria and continued for 344 minutes, during which 2,522 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb segment at latitude -59.6768151, longitude -115.7675358 raised the aircraft from 34,374 ft asl to 35,885 ft asl, a gain of 1,511 ft in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
Cruise from latitude -59.7197502, longitude -116.2372355 lasted 233 minutes and covered 1,663 nm.
The next climb, recorded at latitude -54.2194004, longitude -167.3558164, increased altitude from 36,008 ft asl to 37,957 ft asl, a rise of 1,949 ft in 2 minutes across 11 nm.
Following that, cruise from latitude -54.0963699, longitude -167.6353695 persisted for 122 minutes and spanned 920 nm.
Descent began 71 nm east of Akaroa, descending from 37,738 ft asl to 1,386 ft asl, a loss of 36,352 ft in 20 minutes while covering 105 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport was executed from the north-east on a heading of 219.0° at 4 nm and 1,255 ft agl, followed by a further descent from 1,312 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 94 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 20, which is 3,282 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown was 211 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 96 fpm and a lateral deviation of 7.4 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 13 °C, wind 4 kt from 49°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt tail-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 1,776 m, representing 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft decelerated within the measured 1,776 m landing distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 5,403 nm, required 755 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 88,575 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER began its final approach to runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 219.0° at 4 nm and 1,255 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,312 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 94 seconds, earning points on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and reduced speed to the good threshold speed of 140 kt, preparing for touchdown in accordance with the runway profile.
Touchdown occurred 211 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good speed of 131 kt; the vertical rate was excellent at minus 96 fpm, while the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 7.4 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,776 m, representing 54 % of the 3,282 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To raise the 77.4 % score, focus on achieving touchdown within the designated zone and tightening centreline alignment, as the 211 m overshoot and 7.4 m offset were the largest deviations.
