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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,726 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,726 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft, taking off from runway 10L at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) and landing on runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles.
Upon departure, the aircraft encountered a local weather condition with a temperature of 30°C, a moderate wind of 10 kt at 75°, and a headwind of 10 kt. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 176 kt after covering 46% of the runway, which was approximately 1,820 meters in length.
The enroute climb segment started shortly after takeoff, reaching an elevation of 35,966 feet (asl) in 10 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial elevation of 1,705 feet to reach cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise segment began approximately 1 mile south-west of Climax, Michigan, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering 1,483 nautical miles.
The flight then entered a second climbing phase, which began 80 miles east of Torbay, Canada. In just 2 minutes, the aircraft ascended from a height of 34,620 feet to 36,234 feet, covering a distance of approximately 70 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a second level cruise segment, commencing at a latitude of 48.3219483 and longitude of -49.1002079, and lasting for 50 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered 1,744 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, an enroute descent from 37,656 feet to 3,379 feet began, with a decrease in altitude of 34,276 feet taking approximately 13 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered its final leg, descending from 2,902 feet to 1,359 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R was a perfect alignment with the runway, and a smooth landing was accomplished at a speed of 132 kt, slightly above the optimal threshold speed. The touchdown distance was good, covering approximately 435 meters of the 3,591-meter runway. The touchdown rate was fair, while the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions upon landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a gentle wind of 6 kt at 212°, and a crosswind of 5 kt and headwind of 3 kt. The aircraft used 49,774 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 3,554 nautical miles, taking 135 minutes to complete. The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took only 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
A Boeing 777-300 successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, scoring 99.3% in the process. The final approach to the runway was made from the east, aligning with the heading of 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) and at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to safely execute a precise touchdown on the runway.
Upon approaching the threshold, the aircraft maintained an optimal speed of 136 knots, showcasing excellent pilot control during the final stages of descent. As for the landing itself, the touchdown distance remained within normal limits, measuring 435 meters, thus avoiding any potential issues with the aircraft's stopping power. However, the touchdown speed registered slightly higher than desired, reaching a speed of 132 knots. Despite this, the aircraft still achieved a respectable touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm), further contributing to a smoother landing experience.
Given the conditions at the time of landing, the temperature was measured at 13°C, while the wind direction was recorded from 212° with minimal velocities of 6 knots. As a result, the aircraft experienced a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which posed a relatively minor challenge for the pilots. Overall, the total landing distance spanned 1,646 meters, representing 46% of the available runway length (3,591 meters). What's more impressive was the perfect alignment of the runway rollout, a testament to the pilots' skill in managing and controlling the aircraft's speed and direction immediately after touchdown.
The good threshold height, along with the favorable wind conditions, ultimately facilitated the successful execution of the landing, resulting in an excellent score. The pilots' expertise and precise control over the aircraft played a significant role in achieving this outcome.
