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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 3,406 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 183 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 10°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,038 feet above sea level to 28,938 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,900 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 142 minutes and covered a distance of 1,196 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 37 miles east of Great Mercury Airport.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb phase from 28,947 feet above sea level to 30,569 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,622 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 131 minutes and covered a distance of 1,075 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase from 31,500 feet above sea level to 32,884 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,384 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb phase from 32,931 feet above sea level to 34,930 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,999 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 250 minutes and covered a distance of 2,155 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting from 35,077 feet above sea level to 8,020 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,057 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, entering another level cruise phase from 1 mile south east of Newport Beach, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting from 6,987 feet above sea level to 2,227 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,760 feet in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at Ontario International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 270.0° and at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, and the touchdown rate was -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°. The aircraft used a total of 102,434 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 5,705 nautical miles and took a total of 705 minutes to complete. The taxiing time from the runway to the parking area was 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KONT Ontario International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 26R was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the good threshold height and threshold speed of 145 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 290°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 1,582 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 777F aircraft. The high level of precision and control demonstrated during this landing is a credit to the entire flight crew and the airport's air traffic control team.
