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 2,246 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,381 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.

The total flight distance was 3,448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 393 minutes. The aircraft used 42,518 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at LPPD João Paulo II Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 30 from the east, heading 291.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,085 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrated a high level of precision and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, further emphasizing the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude.
The touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was an excellent result, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. This is particularly impressive given the local weather conditions, which included a moderate headwind of 8 knots and a slight crosswind of 5 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to the centerline of the runway.
The total landing distance of 900 meters, which accounts for 40% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, with a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
