Slow down before tight turns
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Perth International Airport, the Boeing 787-9 began its journey on runway 03, accelerating down the 1,900-meter stretch to reach liftoff speed of 168 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 7 knots. As the aircraft lifted off, it started its enroute climb, ascending from 1,069 feet above sea level to 39,990 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 338 minutes and covered a significant 2,682 nautical miles. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 39,990 feet, taking advantage of the favorable winds to optimize its fuel efficiency. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting from 32 miles south of Klaeng Airfield in Thailand. The descent phase was characterized by a steep drop in altitude, from 39,990 feet to 3,128 feet in just 21 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period before beginning its final descent, touching down on runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots and a distance of 451 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 4 minutes to cover the 1-nautical-mile distance. The total flight distance was 2,979 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 33,476 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 400 minutes.
The Boeing 787-9 touched down on runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,226 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 194.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled rate of descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a satisfactory touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 451 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, suggesting a slightly longer deceleration phase. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown process.
The rollout phase was characterized by a very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,178 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a headwind of 13 knots, did not significantly impact the landing performance. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
