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.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 402 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A380 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03L at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.
As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 160 knots, covering a distance of 2,010 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at an angle of 42 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 6,538 feet above sea level to 35,739 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,201 feet, in just 13 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of the Arnot Power Station Airport in Mpumalanga, South Africa. This phase lasted for 123 minutes and covered a distance of 1,012 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes, distances, and durations. These phases took the aircraft over various locations, including Madagascar and Mauritius, before it began its descent towards its final destination.
The enroute descent started 4 miles north of the Sultan Syarif Haroen Setia Negara Airport in Indonesia, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 42,395 feet above sea level to 34,575 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,820 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 23.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 02L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at an angle of 340 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,190 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,671 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 615 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 99,327 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 successfully landed on runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS) with a score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering at 143 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 404 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, but the aircraft's rate of descent was good at -168 feet per minute (fpm), which helped to maintain control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was also 3 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,190 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the Airbus A380's landing on runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport was a success, with a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the crew's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled landing.
