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 1,647 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,647 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RJBB Kansai International Airport took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The Airbus A350-1000 then began its departure roll on runway 24R, utilizing 38% of the 1,512-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 167 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 210°.
As the aircraft climbed away from RJBB, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile west of the airport, ascending from 996 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,891 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 160 nautical miles, resulted in an impressive increase of 34,895 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles west of Sukumo, Japan, and lasted for 83 minutes, covering a distance of 644 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 88 miles northeast of Jiufen, Taiwan, and saw the aircraft descend from 36,000 feet to 1,388 feet above sea level in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 148 knots. The total landing distance of 1,571 meters, which accounted for 47% of the 3,338-meter runway, was slightly longer than expected. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that had covered a total distance of 976 nautical miles and utilized 17,949 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, a 3,338-meter long runway, after a final approach from the southwest. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 149 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 148 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -196 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline, which was a minor deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C and a light wind of 2 kt at 129°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 1,571 meters was 47% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline, but this was a minor issue.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and runway alignment, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated in maintaining control throughout the landing.
