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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 371 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, then departed from runway 35R at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,944 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 0°C temperature and a wind of 10 knots at 349 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 4,598 feet above sea level to 38,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,394 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 207 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northwest of Dutton, Montana, and lasted for 48 minutes, covering a distance of 1,575 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles northwest of Mesa del Nayar Airport in Santa Teresa, Mexico, where it descended from 39,003 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,678 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) was made from the southwest, heading 47.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a runway length of 3,113 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was 372 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute was fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature. The total landing distance was 1,345 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,895 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 89 minutes. The aircraft used 21,718 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 04 was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 151 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 372 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C. The total landing distance of 1,345 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills.
