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 5,503 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,503 ft of the 6,979 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,721 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A380 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06R at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots after covering a takeoff distance of 5,580 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 349 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,625 feet above sea level to 12,084 feet, an increase of 10,459 feet in just 5 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase took place 3 miles northeast of Mendeleyevo. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time rising from 12,087 feet to 33,418 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. This climb phase started 3 miles west of Povarovo.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 110 minutes and covering a distance of 1,570 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles southwest of Staritsa. The aircraft then began another climb phase, rising from 34,332 feet to 35,589 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. This climb phase took place at a specific latitude and longitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 138 minutes and covering a distance of 2,179 nautical miles. This phase took place at a specific latitude and longitude. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Auburn, Maine, and descending from 36,130 feet to 1,300 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KBOS Logan International Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading at 257.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 6,979 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 356 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 299 degrees.
The total landing distance was 5,238 feet, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then began its taxiing phase, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,993 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 293 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 227,048 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 6,979 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 356 feet past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 18 feet, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°F and winds of 11 knots from 299°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance of 5,238 feet was 75% of the runway length, which is a relatively normal distance for an aircraft of this size.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, such as the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training exercises.
