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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,753 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,753 m of the 2,865 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 678 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KSFO, a movement that required 8 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 165 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,457 m, representing 43 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 23 °C with calm winds (0 kt at 0°).
The initial climb began overhead San Bruno, climbing from 991 ft asl to 34,990 ft asl-a gain of 34,000 ft-in 24 minutes while traversing 179 nm.
Level cruise commenced 5 mi south-east of NV72 Sweetwater (USMC) Airport Wellington and continued for 96 minutes, during which 865 nm were covered.
A subsequent climb started 10 mi south-east of 0SD7 Porch Ranch Airport Wanblee, raising the aircraft from 35,001 ft asl to 36,990 ft asl, an increase of 1,989 ft in 3 minutes over 29 nm.
The next cruise segment originated 9 mi north-west of White River, lasting 243 minutes and encompassing 2,041 nm.
A further climb was initiated at latitude 55.9265299, longitude -50.6700369, lifting the airplane from 37,003 ft asl to 38,870 ft asl, a rise of 1,867 ft in 3 minutes across 27 nm.
Cruise then continued from latitude 56.0070137, longitude -49.8483134 for 172 minutes, covering an additional 1,522 nm.
Descent began 17 mi east of Loughshinny, Leinster, Ireland, descending from 38,999 ft asl to 1,504 ft asl-a loss of 37,495 ft-in 25 minutes while flying 139 nm.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 231.0°, at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23R, which is 2,865 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 133 kt; touchdown occurred 260 m beyond the touchdown zone at 125 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 36 fpm and perfect alignment, while local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 2 kt from 147°, crosswind 2 kt and headwind 0 kt.
Runway rollout was aligned perfectly and extended 1,670 m, representing 58 % of the available runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,812 nm, required 578 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 64,741 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER approached runway 23R at EGCC Manchester from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 133 kt. Touchdown occurred 260 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a good touchdown speed of 125 kt, a perfect touchdown rate of minus 36 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The touchdown phase recorded the same touchdown point of 260 m beyond the zone, a speed of 125 kt, a rate of minus 36 fpm and alignment that remained perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,670 m, representing 58 % of the 2,865 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the touchdown point, adjust flare timing to achieve touchdown nearer the intended zone while preserving the current speed and rate, which will further optimise runway usage.
