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.

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.
Side view — the last 6,027 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,027 ft of the 11,795 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,143 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 747-8 began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The taxiing distance was less than 1 nm and took less than a minute to complete.
The departure took place from runway 12L at OMDB, with a takeoff roll distance of 3,149 ft, which was 27% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 163 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 89°F with a 4 knot wind coming from 80°, resulting in a 3 knot crosswind and headwind component.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,071 ft above sea level to 1,440 ft, an increase of 369 ft in less than a minute while covering less than 1 nm in distance.
Once in the cruise phase, the aircraft flew 1 mile east of OMDB and maintained level flight for 3 minutes, covering a total distance of 11 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 30L at OMDB, with a runway length of 11,795 ft. The aircraft was 57 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 146 knots. The touchdown occurred 2,135 ft from the threshold at a speed of 138 knots, with a vertical speed indicator (VSI) showing a descent rate of -72 ft/min. The total landing distance was 5,684 ft, which was 48% of the runway length. The local weather during landing was 86°F with a 3 knot wind from 80°, resulting in a 2 knot crosswind and tailwind component.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 24 nm, with a total duration of 16 minutes. The flight consumed 152,152 lbs of fuel during this journey.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 94.2%! This is a testament to your skills and abilities as a pilot. Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see where improvements can be made.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly below target. It is crucial to maintain proper descent path and speed during this phase to ensure a smooth transition into the Landing Phase. Consider adjusting your approach angle and speed control techniques to improve your accuracy in these areas.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is commendable that you had a good landing flare, but the threshold height was slightly above target. Focus on refining your approach to achieve the desired threshold height for a more precise touchdown point. Consistency in achieving the correct threshold height will contribute to a smoother landing experience.
In the Touchdown Phase, you excelled in touchdown rate and maintained the correct speed. However, the touchdown point being 700 ft beyond the touchdown zone indicates a slight overshoot. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 26 ft from the centerline, suggesting a need for better alignment. Work on refining your touchdown point accuracy and centerline alignment to enhance your overall landing performance.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining proper runway alignment is essential for a safe and controlled rollout. The deviation of 26 ft from the centerline highlights an area for improvement. Focus on maintaining centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase to enhance your overall landing precision.
Overall, your landing performance is strong, but there are specific areas that can be fine-tuned to further improve your score. By addressing the issues mentioned in each phase of the landing, you can strive for even greater accuracy and proficiency in your future landings. Keep up the great work and continue to practice and refine your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future. Well done!
