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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,584 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,584 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RKSI Incheon International Airport, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 33R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 2,008 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of RKSI Incheon International Airport and reached an altitude of 34,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,959 feet from the initial altitude of 1,047 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles southeast of RKJK Gunsan Airport. This phase lasted for 166 minutes and covered a distance of 1,107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 34,012 feet to 24,010 feet, a decrease of 10,002 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles. The descent started 30 miles south of Shanwei, China.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 37 miles southwest of Shanwei and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. However, this phase was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time from 23,984 feet to 2,423 feet, a decrease of 21,561 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 73 nautical miles. The descent started 29 miles east of Sai Kung, Hong Kong.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles east of ZGUH Jida Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. However, this phase was also short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time from 2,423 feet to 1,834 feet, a decrease of 590 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The descent started 7 miles east of ZGUH Jida Airport.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of Tai O, Hong Kong, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, heading 71.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 07L, which had a length of 3,731 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 427 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,504 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -315 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a relatively steep descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,504 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for approximately 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the maneuver.
