Slow down before tight turns
See Departure 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,048 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,048 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 577 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 8 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 16L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 187 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,759 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it underwent several phases of ascent and level flight. The initial enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of SeaTac, reaching an altitude of 30,957 feet in 16 minutes. The aircraft then transitioned to level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 30,957 feet for 2 minutes before beginning another climb. This pattern of ascent and level flight continued, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 36,973 feet. The longest period of level cruise occurred 5 miles southeast of Chilliwack Airport, lasting 209 minutes and covering 1,799 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,837 feet to 2,709 feet in 18 minutes. The final approach to runway 14 at Zürich Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft touching down 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than optimal, but the runway touchdown position was well-aligned. The total landing distance was 1,964 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,745 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 77,992 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 580 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,295 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the heading of 137.0°. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 146 knots, registering at 142 knots. This resulted in a touchdown rate of -292 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The touchdown point was located 158 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.7 meters from the centerline. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a calm wind, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,964 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is within acceptable parameters. The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.0% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal touchdown and rollout characteristics.
