Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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 rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,360 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and no wind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead San Bruno, California, and began its ascent from 925 feet above sea level to 34,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,986 feet in 21 minutes and covering 138 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 11 miles southwest of O79 Sierraville Dearwater Sierraville, California, and lasted for 177 minutes, covering 1,365 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 35,001 feet above sea level to 36,944 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,944 feet in 3 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles, as it passed 19 miles southwest of CYGO Gods Lake Narrows Airport in Manitoba, Canada. The enroute level cruise started 6 miles west of CKZ3 Elk Island Airport in Manitoba, Canada, and lasted for 184 minutes, covering 1,482 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing from 37,002 feet above sea level to 39,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,999 feet in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles, as it passed 7 miles south of Arsuk in Greenland. The enroute level cruise started 39 miles west of Narsaq in Greenland and lasted for 154 minutes, covering 1,278 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Ballina in Ireland and descending from 39,005 feet above sea level to 8,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,004 feet in 18 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 14 miles east of Loughshinny in Ireland and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 16 miles northeast of Greystones in Ireland and descending from 7,991 feet above sea level to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,552 feet in 7 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW), flying from the east at a heading of 275.0° and at an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 28L at EIDW, with a runway length of 2,617 meters. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind of 6 knots at 170°.
The total landing distance was 994 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,494 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 584 minutes. The aircraft used 63,604 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a near-perfect score of 99.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 440 meters was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilots were able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 994 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-200ER on runway 28L at Dublin Airport was a textbook example of a safe and controlled landing, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skill and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
