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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a takeoff distance of 761 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tromsø, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind of 7 knots at 232°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Tromsø and continued for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,014 feet to 34,172 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southeast of Kjopsvik and lasted for 75 minutes, covering a distance of 590 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,664 feet to 36,598 feet, an increase of 1,934 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 68 miles east of Out Skerries Bruray and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 387 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 36,576 feet to 8,185 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Naul and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The descent continued from 7,966 feet to 3,814 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time from 2 miles northwest of Kilcloon and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile north of EIMA Dolly's Grove Maynooth and continued from 3,142 feet to 1,521 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport was made from the west, heading 95.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots and a touchdown distance of 418 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind of 10 knots at 97°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,399 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,242 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 185 minutes. The aircraft used 23,363 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Dublin Airport's runway 10L, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, and the aircraft touched down safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when it reached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the wind conditions. The touchdown distance of 418 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 145 kt was also good.
Despite the good overall performance, the touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A more ideal touchdown rate would be between -150 to -200 fpm, which would have resulted in a smoother landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's response to the crosswind.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from 97°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the headwind component was 10 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,399 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
