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 1,697 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,697 m of the 2,604 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 356 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport, covering 2 nm in 6 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the Boeing 777-300 accelerated over a distance of 622 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 229°, providing a 2 kt headwind and zero crosswind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of EDDC, with the aircraft ascending from 1,682 ft asl to 37,994 ft asl, a gain of 36,312 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 106 nm.
Cruise began overhead Nutha in Saxony-Anhalt and was maintained for 53 minutes, during which 417 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 3 miles east of Tillingham, Essex, with a reduction from 37,997 ft asl to 1,641 ft asl, a loss of 36,356 ft completed in 29 minutes over a distance of 164 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was executed from the southeast on a heading of 326.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,316 ft agl.
Landing on runway 33, which is 2,604 m long, was performed with a threshold speed of 142 kt. Touchdown occurred 355 m down the runway at 139 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 299 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather reported 19 °C, wind 4 kt from 10°, a 3 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,615 m, equivalent to 62 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 nm, a maneuver that took 3 minutes.
In summary, the flight covered 696 nm, required 107 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 12,128 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 entered the final approach to runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport from the southeast on a heading of 326.0° while 4 NM from the threshold and 1,316 ft AGL, with ambient temperature 19 °C, wind 4 kt from 10°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft encountered a good threshold height and maintained a good threshold speed of 142 kt, aligning for touchdown on a runway 2,604 m long.
Touchdown occurred 355 m down the runway at a speed of 139 kt, which was a little fast, with a fair vertical rate of minus 299 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,615 m, representing 62 % of the available runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine future performances, a modest reduction in touchdown speed would bring the aircraft closer to the target speed envelope, and a slightly higher sink rate on flare could improve the vertical profile without compromising safety.
