Slow down before tight turns
See Departure Taxi
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,385 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,609 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 59 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it first ascended from 1,030 feet above sea level to 34,984 feet, an increase of 33,954 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 199 nautical miles. The enroute climb started over RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase. This initial cruise phase lasted for 276 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2,698 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,182 feet to 36,991 feet, an increase of 1,808 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 113 minutes and covered a distance of 992 nautical miles. The cruise phase started at a location with coordinates 38.9406365 latitude and 174.4464778 longitude.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 37,000 feet to 38,997 feet, an increase of 1,998 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 235 minutes and covered a distance of 2,059 nautical miles. This cruise phase started at a location with coordinates 43.100189 latitude and -163.5823183 longitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 3 miles west of 36CN Blackwell Land Company Airport. The descent from 39,008 feet to 1,577 feet took 29 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,419 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 25R, with a touchdown point 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 310 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,419 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,168 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 693 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 79,218 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 25R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,419 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 164 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation is not considered significant. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
Despite the slightly higher touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from 310°.
The total landing distance of 1,419 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height, touchdown speed, and runway touchdown alignment. However, the slightly higher touchdown rate and deviation from the touchdown zone are areas for improvement.
