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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,841 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 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 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,888 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 180°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from 1,564 feet above sea level to 33,506 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,942 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles west of CYVV Wiarton Airport and lasted 25 minutes, covering 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 10 miles east of 6Y5 Two Hearted Airstrip, rising from 33,845 feet to 35,561 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles north of the airstrip and lasted 178 minutes, covering 1,373 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 7 miles southwest of Peachland, with the aircraft descending from 34,372 feet to 1,248 feet in 26 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26R at CYVR Vancouver International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 280.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,228 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26R was successful, with a touchdown point 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 160°. The crosswind and tailwind components were 12 and 7 knots, respectively.
The total landing distance was 1,768 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,815 nautical miles, taking 263 minutes, and the aircraft used 31,362 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 26R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The touchdown point was located 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the final approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and winds of 14 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance was 1,768 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 98.0%. The pilot demonstrated a high degree of skill and precision during the final approach and touchdown, despite the challenging wind conditions.
