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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,648 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,648 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO) on runway 07 after a taxiing period of 19 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. Local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 4° (northeast). This resulted in a crosswind component of 14 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
After a short takeoff distance of 2,074 meters, which was 72% of the runway length, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 180 knots. The initial climb phase occurred immediately after takeoff, as the aircraft began to ascend to 30,328 feet above sea level (asl) over Ablon-sur-Seine, Ile-de-France, France. This was achieved in just 16 minutes, with a total distance of 94 nautical miles traveled during this phase.
The first level cruising phase started approximately 1 mile south-west of Saint-Eloy-de-Gy, Centre-Val de Loire, France. During this cruise section, the aircraft remained at a consistent altitude for 39 minutes, covering 315 nautical miles.
The flight resumed its ascent phases several times during the journey, with the most significant climb occurring from 34,319 ft asl to 36,190 ft asl over Timbuktu, Mali. This increase of 1,872 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The first major descent phase began 24 miles south-west of Tanda, Zanzan, Ivory Coast, where the aircraft descended from 36,352 ft asl to 3,167 ft asl in just 22 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles.
The final approach to Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (DIAP) was initiated from the north, following a heading of 202.0°. Local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 25 °C and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 230° (west-southwest). This resulted in a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 10 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 21, which was 3,006 meters long. The landing speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots at touchdown, but the touchdown distance of 386 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed was 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was -271 feet per minute, which was only fair.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,640 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 48,299 kilograms, and a total flight time of 367 minutes.
The Boeing 777F aircraft landed successfully at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, with a final approach score of 98.2%. The approach path from the north resulted in the aircraft heading directly towards runway 21 at an elevation of 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level.
On touchdown, the plane landed smoothly, with the threshold speed of 150 knots being only slightly above the target, indicating a competent control of the aircraft's descent. The actual touchdown distance was 386 meters, meeting the expectations, and the touchdown speed of 144 knots was also within acceptable limits.
However, there were a couple of minor areas for improvement in this landing. Firstly, the touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute could be considered a bit sluggish, indicating that the descent was not as steep as it could have been. Furthermore, there was a small discrepancy in the runway touchdown position, with the plane deviating 5.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions were largely favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 10 knots blowing at an angle of 230 degrees. This crosswind was relatively minor, at 5 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges for the pilot or the aircraft. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,568 meters was 52% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft did not have ample room for a prolonged rollout.
Despite these minor imperfections, the aircraft performed well during the rollout phase, maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered a success, showcasing a competent and controlled performance by the aircraft and its pilot.
