Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,823 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,823 m of the 2,107 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 638 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 1,047 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Springfield Gardens in New York, where the aircraft climbed from 1,071 feet above sea level to 36,067 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,997 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 14 miles southeast of Ocean City in New Jersey, lasting 117 minutes and covering 937 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting 77 miles west of Mangrove Cay in the Bahamas, where it climbed from 36,018 feet above sea level to 37,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 995 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting 69 miles north of Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba, lasting 64 minutes and covering 518 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting at a specific latitude and longitude, where it climbed from 36,929 feet above sea level to 37,587 feet above sea level, an increase of 658 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued once again, starting at another specific latitude and longitude, lasting 31 minutes and covering 248 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 65 miles north of Isla Grande in Panama, where the aircraft descended from 37,918 feet above sea level to 1,441 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,477 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at Tocumen International Airport in Panama was made from the southwest, heading 31.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,326 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 60 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,750 meters, which was 83% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,938 nautical miles, taking a total of 271 minutes and using 32,131 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at MPTO Tocumen International Airport, with a final approach score of 92.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,326 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 03L, which has a length of 2,107 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate that the pilot could have made a slightly earlier touchdown. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but could be improved upon.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 1,750 meters was 83% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown.
