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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,729 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,729 m of the 3,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 615 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at London Heathrow (EGLL) for eight minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 193 kt after traveling 1,965 m, which represented 51 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 26 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 240°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began over Harmondsworth, rising from 317 ft asl to 6,013 ft asl-a gain of 5,695 ft-in three minutes while traversing 12 nm.
Level cruise commenced over Cobham and continued for seven minutes, during which the aircraft covered 33 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started over Aylesford, climbing from 6,001 ft asl to 32,991 ft asl, an increase of 26,989 ft achieved in 19 minutes over a distance of 142 nm.
The next cruise phase originated one mile north-west of Gaasbeek, lasting 218 minutes and encompassing 1,832 nm.
Climbing again over Rustavi, the aircraft rose from 33,002 ft asl to 34,942 ft asl, gaining 1,940 ft in three minutes while covering 26 nm.
A further cruise segment began six miles north-east of Saloglu, persisting for 217 minutes and spanning 1,827 nm.
The final climb of the en-route portion started 91 mi south of Korla Licheng Airport, increasing altitude from 35,000 ft asl to 36,998 ft asl-a gain of 1,997 ft-in three minutes and covering 28 nm.
The last cruise leg was recorded at latitude 40.0851378, longitude 85.9620096, lasting 218 minutes and covering 1,896 nm.
Descent commenced three miles south of Daliang, with the aircraft descending from 37,003 ft asl to 1,316 ft asl, a loss of 35,687 ft in 22 minutes while traveling 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) was flown from the south-west on a heading of 71.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl, followed by a further descent from 1,332 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 99 seconds, during which the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 07C was executed with a threshold speed of 141 kt; touchdown occurred 198 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 203 fpm and very good runway-centerline alignment, while local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 3 kt from 18°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,648 m, representing 46 % of the runway length, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment throughout the ground roll.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in two minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 5,923 nm, required 721 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 100,178 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 07C at VHHH from the south-west on a heading of 71.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft descended from 1,332 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 99 seconds. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 141 kt. Touchdown occurred 198 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt that was good, a touchdown rate fair at minus 203 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment very good.
Touchdown was executed with the indicated speed of 134 kt, a vertical rate of minus 203 fpm, and alignment that met the very good rating, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline through the flare and initial ground contact.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,648 m, representing 46 % of the 3,621 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the 78.5 % score, aim to reduce the touchdown point distance by refining the flare timing to achieve a touchdown closer to the designated zone, and work on moderating the sink rate to bring the vertical speed nearer to the optimal range. Maintaining these adjustments will enhance consistency without compromising safety.
