Improve the taxi
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 1,617 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,617 m of the 4,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond 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 777-300, then departed from runway 12L at OBBI Bahrain International Airport. The takeoff distance was 771 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead OBBI Bahrain International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,018 feet above sea level to 37,945 feet above sea level, a total increase of 36,927 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 31 miles northwest of OEBQ Abqaiq Airport, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 520 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile southeast of Fara', and the aircraft descended from 38,120 feet above sea level to 1,341 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 36,779 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 340.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 4,013 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 113 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 350 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,542 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 701 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 120 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,652 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport on runway 34R. The final approach was executed from the south, heading 340.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 113 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than ideal, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute was still within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 350°. There was no crosswind component, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 1,542 meters was 38% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilots maintained good control of the aircraft during the braking phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
