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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,766 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,766 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG), with a takeoff distance of 1,362 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started over Mauregard, Ile-de-France, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,359 feet above sea level to 31,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,645 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles east of Coullons, Centre-Val de Loire, France, and lasted for 83 minutes, covering a distance of 704 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 31,179 feet above sea level to 32,758 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,579 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 8 miles north-west of Ain Kercha, Oum el Bouaghi, Algeria, and lasted for 198 minutes, covering a distance of 1,666 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. The final enroute climb took place 30 miles east of Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, where the aircraft ascended from 33,205 feet above sea level to 35,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,802 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 28 miles south-west of Papendorp Airport, Vredendal, Western Cape, South Africa. The descent took place from 37,178 feet above sea level to 1,290 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,888 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT) took place from the north, with a heading of 165.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,119 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 19, which had a length of 3,210 meters. The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,693 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,068 nautical miles, taking a total of 629 minutes, and the aircraft used 83,507 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 149 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was located 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The total landing distance of 1,693 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 perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
