Monitor your taxi speed
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 1,526 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,526 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 255 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 15 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,582 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 205 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,062 feet above sea level to 35,164 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,103 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 18 miles south of Ouro Preto, lasting 78 minutes and covering 661 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 20 miles north east of SWKE Cobrape Airport, where it climbed from 35,336 feet above sea level to 37,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,157 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 20 miles south west of SSUU Fazenda Colorado Airport, lasting 226 minutes and covering 1,876 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 70 miles south of TISX Henry E Rohlsen Airport, where it climbed from 37,352 feet above sea level to 38,761 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,409 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 63 miles south of TISX Henry E Rohlsen Airport, lasting 209 minutes and covering 902 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 30 miles west of MYAN San Andros Airport, where the aircraft descended from 38,963 feet above sea level to 2,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,887 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more, this time 1 mile south of Brownsville, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 1 mile south east of Pinecrest, where it climbed from 2,052 feet above sea level to 3,292 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,239 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles north west of FA35 Lindbergh's Landing Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 8 miles west of Kendall West, where the aircraft descended from 3,306 feet above sea level to 1,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,025 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at KMIA Miami International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 251 meters and a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was heavy at
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 08R, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 251 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly higher than the target speed, indicating a potential for a slightly longer rollout. The touchdown rate of -614 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a higher-than-desired deceleration upon touchdown.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and heavy touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,441 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of approach and touchdown performance.
