Improve the taxi
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,392 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 888 ft 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 4,175 feet, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 106°F and winds of 18 knots at 239°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots. After departing from Las Vegas, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 39,581 feet. This climb covered a distance of 120 nautical miles and took 18 minutes.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began its enroute level cruise, which started 26 miles west of the Valle Grand Canyon in Arizona. This cruise phase lasted for 98 minutes and covered a distance of 797 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles west of Florence, Texas. This descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 40,405 feet to 8,200 feet, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles in 17 minutes.
The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles north of the Mitchell Number One Airport in Sanderson, Texas. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northeast of the Green Acres Airport in Hockley, Texas. This descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 7,374 feet to 1,367 feet, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles in 6 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90° at an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 9,392 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was 888 feet, which was good, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and winds of 6 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,938 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,076 nautical miles, and the flight took 163 minutes. The aircraft used 38,512 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 888 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 3,938 feet was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable rollout and alignment.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent direction and speed after touchdown. This is a critical aspect of a safe landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is able to stop within the designated runway area and avoid any potential hazards. Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft demonstrated excellent performance during the landing, with a high score and a safe and stable touchdown.
