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 1,800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,800 m of the 2,870 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 17L at SCEL, a movement that lasted 13 minutes and covered 6 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17L the aircraft used 2,349 m of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and lifted off at 173 kt; ambient temperature was 24 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 072°, providing a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile south of SCEL, climbing from 2,492 ft asl to 31,990 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,498 ft achieved in 23 minutes while covering 147 nm.
Level cruise commenced 43 nm west of SCHO Punta Chungo Airport and continued for 121 minutes, during which 873 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb started at latitude -18.8128905, longitude -79.9574548, raising the aircraft from 32,263 ft asl to 33,932 ft asl, a gain of 1,669 ft in 3 minutes over 25 nm.
Cruise from latitude -18.4161811, longitude -80.1682228 lasted 61 minutes and covered 489 nm.
The next climb segment originated at latitude -11.0898472, longitude -83.8879256, increasing altitude from 34,000 ft asl to 35,938 ft asl, a rise of 1,938 ft in 5 minutes while traversing 42 nm.
Cruise from latitude -10.4368722, longitude -84.2073683 persisted for 197 minutes and spanned 1,603 nm.
A further climb began at latitude 13.139577, longitude -96.7105213, climbing from 36,367 ft asl to 37,532 ft asl, an increase of 1,165 ft in 2 minutes across 12 nm.
The final cruise segment started at latitude 13.314467, longitude -96.8545656, lasting 301 minutes and covering 2,402 nm.
Descent commenced 1 mile west of Meadow Glade, Washington, with the aircraft descending from 38,001 ft asl to 1,832 ft asl, a loss of 36,170 ft in 22 minutes while covering 120 nm.
The final approach to runway 16C at KSEA was executed from the north, on a heading of 180.0° at 4 nm and 1,376 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16C, which is 2,870 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 144 kt; touchdown occurred 125 m beyond the touchdown zone at 141 kt and a vertical speed of minus 180 fpm, with the wheel track 6.0 m off the centreline. Ambient conditions were 20 °C, wind 4 kt from 009°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt tail-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,725 m, equivalent to 60 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 5,728 nm, required 748 minutes of flight time, and consumed 117,303 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F approached runway 16C at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport from the north on a heading of 180.0° at 4 nm and 1,376 ft agl, with a final-approach score of 97.5 %. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 144 kt; the aircraft continued the flare without any noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 125 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 141 kt judged good and a vertical rate of minus 180 fpm described as good. The aircraft landed slightly off centreline by 6.0 m, and the total landing distance was 1,725 m, representing 60 % of the 2,870 m runway. Local weather was 20 °C, wind 4 kt from 090°, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 4 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied off the runway without incident.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the 6.0 m lateral deviation to maintain centreline alignment and on targeting the aim point within the touchdown zone rather than 125 m beyond it, which will keep the landing distance comfortably within runway limits.
