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.

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 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 3,988 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 21 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,183 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,149 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 96 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 37,073 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 24 miles south of Rizokarpaso in Cyprus. This cruise phase lasted for 106 minutes and covered a distance of 811 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles north of Dobrovelychkivka in Ukraine. This descent phase covered a distance of 93 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 29,261 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of UKIV Pereyaslav-Khmel'nyts'kyy Airport in Ukraine. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles north of Baryshivka in Ukraine. This descent phase covered a distance of 17 nautical miles and took 9 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 7,377 feet.
The final approach to runway 18L at UKBB Boryspil International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 182.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18L, which had a length of 3,988 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 458 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 235 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,630 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,052 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 163 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 18,974 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at UKBB Boryspil International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching runway 18L from the north, heading 182.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 143 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rate of descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed, which was recorded at 138 knots. This was slightly faster than the recommended speed, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was fair, indicating that the pilots had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively, but could have done so more smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -10°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 235°, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,630 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and rate of descent, and had successfully controlled the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and had maintained a stable alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at UKBB Boryspil International Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
