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 1,707 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,707 m of the 3,626 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 128 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 31L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York. The takeoff distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from a direction of 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing KJFK, rising from an altitude of 1,084 feet above sea level to 33,128 feet, an increase of 32,044 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Orson Field (7PA4) in Pennsylvania, and lasted for 133 minutes, covering a distance of 1,015 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 35,025 feet above sea level to 36,497 feet, an increase of 1,473 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile southeast of Boulden Airstrip (60ND) in North Dakota.
The enroute level cruise resumed 8 miles north of McVille Municipal Airport (8M6) in North Dakota, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 885 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Ross Airport (5WA5) in Washington, and descended from an altitude of 36,216 feet above sea level to 1,544 feet, a decrease of 34,672 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) was made from the south, heading 360 degrees at an altitude of 1,098 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 3,626 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 129 meters, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots coming from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,627 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,111 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 311 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 32,972 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34R, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to the runway was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,098 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 129 meters. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The crosswind component was 7 knots, but the headwind component was zero, which meant that the pilot did not have to contend with any significant wind shear during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,627 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
