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 1,714 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,714 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 330 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The landing on runway 25L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters, a touchdown speed of 141 knots, and a touchdown rate of -390 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 200°.
The total landing distance was 1,631 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 411 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,762 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 96.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 146 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -390 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft performed well despite the slight wind.
The total landing distance of 1,631 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
