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 1,764 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,764 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 230 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 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-8, then departed from runway 34L at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 727 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,097 feet above sea level to 7,450 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,354 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued as the aircraft ascended from 7,460 feet above sea level to 42,196 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,736 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 99 minutes and covering a distance of 807 nautical miles, 6 miles north of Doha.
The enroute descent phase began as the aircraft descended from 42,039 feet above sea level to 14,570 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,469 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles, 9 miles north west of HE45 Ras Sedr Airport.
The final descent phase began as the aircraft descended from 14,415 feet above sea level to 2,531 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,885 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 6 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles, overhead Saqqarah.
The final approach to runway 05C at HECA Cairo International Airport was made from the south west, heading 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,590 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 230 meters and a touchdown speed of 127 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -667 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,681 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,147 nautical miles, taking a total of 170 minutes, and the aircraft used 10,876 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cairo International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.0%. The final approach to runway 05C was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,590 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. The touchdown distance of 230 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 127 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly heavy at -667 feet per minute, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The landing was conducted in a relatively calm local weather condition, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 1,681 meters was 42% of the available runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise approach path and rollout alignment.
