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 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 1,570 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,570 m of the 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 769 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L, the Boeing 777-300 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,490 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 175 kt. Ambient conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 218 °, a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb commenced one mile south-west of SeaTac, climbing from 1,381 ft asl to 33,009 ft asl-a gain of 31,627 ft-in 19 minutes while covering 142 nm.
Subsequent level cruise began five miles north-east of Rock Island and continued for 178 minutes, during which 1,521 nm were flown.
A second climb segment started at latitude 63.2150737, longitude -87.1792246, raising the aircraft from 32,999 ft asl to 35,025 ft asl, an increase of 2,025 ft in 3 minutes over 27 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 88 miles south-west of CYZS Coral Harbour Airport and lasted 225 minutes, covering 1,919 nm.
A third climb began at latitude 58.3839768, longitude -18.6646814, climbing from 35,006 ft asl to 36,987 ft asl, a rise of 1,981 ft in 3 minutes across 35 nm.
Following that, level cruise was initiated at latitude 58.0965315, longitude -17.6518322 and persisted for 110 minutes, during which 1,013 nm were traversed.
Descent commenced overhead Premery in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France, descending from 36,959 ft asl to 2,064 ft asl-a loss of 34,895 ft-in 22 minutes while covering 120 nm.
The final approach to runway 17L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 175.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,262 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17L, which is 2,705 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 146 kt; touchdown occurred 375 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 129 fpm. Local weather reported 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 160 °, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,511 m, representing 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was recorded as perfect as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,787 nm, required 575 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 77,929 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 established a final approach to runway 17L at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry from the north, tracking a heading of 175.0° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft AGL. Ambient temperature was 18 °C with wind from 160° at 2 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
The aircraft presented a good threshold height and maintained the prescribed threshold speed of 146 kt, establishing a stable configuration for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 375 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 135 kt that was good and a smooth vertical rate of -129 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered 1,511 m, representing 56 % of the 2,705 m runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
Future approaches should aim to achieve touchdown nearer the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to avoid the 375 m overshoot and further reduce runway usage. Maintaining the current speed and alignment standards will preserve the high overall score.
