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.

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 1,600 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,600 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 680 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 196 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 1,128 feet above sea level to 33,295 feet, an increase of 32,166 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles southwest of Kazabazua, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another climb phase, which started 14 miles northeast of Fort-Coulonge, Quebec, Canada. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 33,671 feet to 35,028 feet, an increase of 1,357 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 170 minutes, covering a distance of 1,106 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, which started overhead Manderson-White Horse Creek, South Dakota, United States. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 35,785 feet to 37,334 feet, an increase of 1,549 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 120 minutes, covering a distance of 810 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 8 miles southwest of 5CA4 Ludlow Airport, Barstow, California, United States. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 38,127 feet to 1,393 feet, a decrease of 36,735 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 24R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 146 knots and a touchdown distance of 238 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, while the touchdown rate was firm at -327 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,522 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,174 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 345 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 45,611 kilograms of fuel
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 98.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 147 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 238 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process. The touchdown rate of -327 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and was able to maintain a stable approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots, resulting in a net headwind effect.
The total landing distance of 1,522 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at KLAX was a successful and proficient operation, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and landing process.
