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.

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 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24 at Shannon Airport (EINN), with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,216 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of Shannon Airport. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,075 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,972 feet, an increase of 32,898 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 63 miles northwest of Dingle, Ireland, and lasted for 162 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,110 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 48.0091885 and a longitude of -39.9748165, climbing from 33,870 feet to 35,855 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed at a latitude of 47.8665067 and a longitude of -40.5451733, lasting for 74 minutes and covering a distance of 552 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 44.1915924 and a longitude of -52.7245816, climbing from 35,782 feet to 37,767 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed at a latitude of 43.9105618 and a longitude of -53.2470034, lasting for 211 minutes and covering a distance of 1,595 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 48 miles east of Hutchinson Island South, Florida. The descent took place from an altitude of 38,147 feet to 1,294 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0° at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots and a touchdown distance of 370 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,534 nautical miles, taking a total of 507 minutes, and the aircraft used 61,599 kilograms of fuel during the flight
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and altitude. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the critical phases of flight.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a smooth touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 370 meters was also good, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 100°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,330 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had landed well within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's direction and speed during the critical phases of flight.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at Miami International Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures ensured a smooth and successful landing, with minimal disruption to air traffic operations.
