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 rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 179 knots after covering a takeoff distance of 1,811 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Colnbrook, where the aircraft ascended from 1,073 feet above sea level to 6,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,940 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Leatherhead and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which began overhead Detling and took the aircraft from 6,020 feet above sea level to 30,853 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,833 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Watermael-Boitsfort and lasted for 242 minutes, covering a distance of 1,977 nautical miles. This was followed by a climb phase, which began 6 miles north east of Bilajer and took the aircraft from 31,000 feet above sea level to 36,923 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,923 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 46 miles west of Turkmenbasy and lasted for 401 minutes, covering a distance of 3,321 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started 9 miles north west of Svay Rieng and took the aircraft from 36,214 feet above sea level to 7,064 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,150 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles north west of Can Gio and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which began 17 miles east of VVLO Long Thanh Airport and took the aircraft from 6,939 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,634 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Tan Son Nhat International Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,058 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 196°,
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at VVTS Tan Son Nhat International Airport on runway 25L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -148 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled and stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 196°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The runway length at VVTS Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 3,058 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance was 1,072 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER at VVTS Tan Son Nhat International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft in a variety of weather conditions.
