Improve the taxi
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 1,547 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,547 m of the 2,876 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 11 at TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport. The takeoff distance was 884 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 89 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Santa Cruz on the Aruba Island, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,071 feet above sea level to 16,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,847 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 21 miles east of Savaneta on the Aruba Island and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The descent phase began 13 miles west of Sabana Westpunt on the Curacao Island, where the aircraft descended from 16,970 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,672 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10 at TNCB Flamingo International Airport from the west, heading at 92.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 10, which had a length of 2,876 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -184 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 100 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,512 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,121 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at TNCB Flamingo International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 145 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to make some adjustments during the final approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was located 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,512 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The high score of 99.8% reflects the pilots' skill and experience in conducting a safe and controlled landing.
