Monitor your taxi speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,582 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,582 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A340 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Vancouver International Airport, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 69% of the 2,257-meter runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 70°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The climb took 25 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 727 feet above sea level to 35,428 feet, an increase of 34,702 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 171 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 12 miles northwest of Skwlax, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 549 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 4,014 nautical miles. The cruise altitude remained constant at 35,428 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 17 miles north of Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, Normandie, France. The descent took 27 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,048 feet to 1,688 feet, a decrease of 33,360 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 96 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading at 85.0° at an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on the 2,694-meter runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 155 knots.
The touchdown distance was 399 meters, and the touchdown speed was 150 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -409 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,290 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 609 minutes. The aircraft used 60,594 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A340 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach to runway 08R was initiated from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 155 knots. The touchdown distance of 399 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 150 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -409 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the aircraft's landing performance was generally good. However, there were some issues with the runway alignment. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory despite the slight deviations in alignment.
Overall, the Airbus A340 aircraft demonstrated good landing performance at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, with a score of 93.3%. However, there were some minor issues with alignment that may require attention to ensure safe and efficient landing operations.
