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 2,101 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,101 m of the 3,111 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport (EDDS), the Boeing 777F began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,022 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 177 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 51°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,995 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started over Stadecken-Elsheim, Germany, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 208 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Knokke, Belgium, and took 24 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The descent phase brought the aircraft down to an altitude of 1,325 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached RAF Mildenhall (EGUN), it began its final approach to runway 28, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 283.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind of 8 knots at 119°. The aircraft touched down 57 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 2,025 meters, accounting for 72% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 460 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 9,693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F touched down smoothly on runway 28 at EGUN RAF Mildenhall, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 146 kt that was well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a steady state, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt that was consistent with the planned landing configuration.
The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with a touchdown rate of -171 fpm that was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 119 °, presented a moderate crosswind component of 2 kt and a tailwind component of 7 kt, but the pilot's skill and the aircraft's handling characteristics ensured a stable and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 2,025 m was 72% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot and the aircraft's performance.
