Monitor your taxi speed
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777F taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 1,108 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Leipzig/Halle Airport Schkeuditz, where the aircraft ascended from 1,545 feet above sea level to 17,659 feet, an increase of 16,115 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Drosa, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 18,044 feet to 34,706 feet, an increase of 16,662 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north east of Sarstedt, lasting 46 minutes and covering 364 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 34,130 feet to 5,842 feet, a decrease of 28,288 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Findern, lasting 7 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at East Midlands Airport was made from the west, heading 86.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,713 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 09, with a runway length of 2,580 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 189 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, while the touchdown speed was fast at 182 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 542 nautical miles, taking 99 minutes, and the aircraft used 12,871 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving a score of 91.7%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 86.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,713 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,580 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 189 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or the pilots may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, but the touchdown speed of 182 knots was faster than ideal. The touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively well.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation by the pilots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop relatively quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path or a miscalculation by the pilots.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold speed and touchdown speed. The pilots may have benefited from a more precise approach and a slower touchdown speed to achieve a higher score.
