Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,892 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,892 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 584 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 1,994 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Marina del Rey, California, and the aircraft ascended from 977 feet above sea level to 30,992 feet, an increase of 30,015 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 160 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 12 miles southwest of Santa Isabel, Mexico, and lasted for 144 minutes, covering a distance of 1,238 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 6 miles east of Tecolutla, Mexico, and ascended from 31,014 feet to 32,965 feet, an increase of 1,951 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 15 miles east of Nautla, Mexico, and lasted for 177 minutes, covering a distance of 1,459 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 16 miles west of Santa Genoveva de Docordo, Colombia, and ascended from 32,992 feet to 34,644 feet, an increase of 1,651 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 7 miles southeast of Juanchaco Airport, Colombia, and lasted for 164 minutes, covering a distance of 1,333 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 15 miles northeast of Aripuanã Airport, Brazil, and ascended from 34,997 feet to 36,987 feet, an increase of 1,991 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 11 miles south of Aripuanã Airport, Brazil, and lasted for 136 minutes, covering a distance of 1,063 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 9 miles southwest of Passa Tempo Airport, Brazil, and descended from 36,995 feet to 1,294 feet, a decrease of 35,701 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport (SBGL) began from the northwest, heading 126.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown point 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,819 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,491 nautical miles,
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a final approach score of 93.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 126.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was not excessively fast or slow upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 4.8 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,819 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
