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.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 25L at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (HAAB). The takeoff distance was 1,269 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of HAAB and reached an altitude of 40,281 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,697 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles southeast of Bure, Ethiopia, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 771 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles south of Abu Simbel, Egypt, and descended from 39,894 feet to 1,899 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,994 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at Aswan International Airport (HESN) was from the south, heading 348.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 1,645 feet above ground level and then again at 150 feet above ground level. Eventually, the aircraft landed on runway 35, which had a length of 3,404 meters. The touchdown point was 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,061 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 176 minutes. The aircraft used 17,493 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at HESN Aswan International Airport, with a score of 75.2%. The final approach to runway 35 was initiated from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated based on several key parameters.
One of the notable issues observed during the landing was the excessively high threshold height, which was above the target. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 165 knots, indicating that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing. However, the second landing attempt showed significant improvement, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor issues during the landing, the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft demonstrated good performance and control, resulting in a score of 75.2%.
