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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,841 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 31L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 977 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 318°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Howard Beach, New York, and reached an altitude of 35,002 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 986 feet asl. This climb covered 120 nautical miles and took 17 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Putnam, Connecticut, and lasting for 111 minutes, covering 947 nautical miles.
The flight continued with another enroute climb, this time starting 68 miles north east of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The aircraft climbed from 35,000 feet asl to 35,988 feet asl, an increase of 987 feet in 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, flying 82 miles north east of Bonavista and lasting for 160 minutes, covering 1,406 nautical miles.
The flight then experienced another enroute climb, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and climbing from 35,998 feet asl to 37,001 feet asl, an increase of 1,003 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, flying for 74 minutes, covering 606 nautical miles.
As the flight approached its destination, it began its descent, starting overhead Martigny, Normandie, France. The aircraft descended from 36,998 feet asl to 11,218 feet asl, a decrease of 25,781 feet in 9 minutes, covering 61 nautical miles. The flight then entered a brief level cruise phase, flying overhead Novillers, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead Creil, Hauts-de-France, France, and the aircraft descended from 10,980 feet asl to 1,601 feet asl, a decrease of 9,380 feet in 10 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG), flying from the east at a heading of 265.0° and at an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft landed on runway 26L, which was 2,694 meters long. The touchdown point was 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 180°.
The total landing distance was 1,761 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 3,226 nautical miles, and the flight took 400 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 48,383 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 26L, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 145 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The touchdown point was located 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,761 meters, which represents 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with the pilots successfully navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown on runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
