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.

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 3,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The final approach to runway 09 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,354 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which was 3,039 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 132 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 383 meters. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 2 knots,
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 132 knots. The touchdown distance of 383 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a good speed and distance, and maintaining a stable alignment during the rollout phase. The high score of 99.4% reflects the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
