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 final approach to runway 03L at MPTO Tocumen International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 31.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 176 meters and a touchdown speed of 145 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at MPTO Tocumen International Airport on runway 03L, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 147 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 176 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 29°C and no wind. This allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 1,434 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft demonstrated perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently.
