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.

Side view — the last 1,640 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,640 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The takeoff distance was 1,087 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 198 degrees. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,041 feet above sea level to 33,927 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,886 feet in 17 minutes and covering 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 11 miles west of DIBC Bocanda Airport in Bocanda, Ivory Coast, and lasted for 94 minutes, covering 770 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,948 feet above sea level to 35,955 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,007 feet in 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 100 miles northeast of GQNC Tichitt Airport in Tichitt, Mauritania, and lasted for 163 minutes, covering 1,296 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, ascending from 36,235 feet above sea level to 38,242 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,007 feet in 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles north of LECA La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield in Corral de Ayllón, Spain, and lasted for 167 minutes, covering 487 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, descending from 37,876 feet above sea level to 5,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,874 feet in 14 minutes and covering 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, which started overhead Drucourt, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued, with the aircraft descending from 4,963 feet above sea level to 1,669 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,295 feet in 5 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport began from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27R was successful, with the touchdown point being 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a 9-knot headwind at 230 degrees, with a 5-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,556 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,849 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 481 minutes. The
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 142 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was 98 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly.
The total landing distance of 1,556 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
