Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival 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.

Side view — the last 1,854 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,854 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 353 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 777F then departed from runway 10 at MNMG Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport, a major airport in Nicaragua. The takeoff distance was 1,672 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 100 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Managua, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 133 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,173 feet above sea level to 30,994 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 26 miles northwest of Siuna, Nicaragua, and lasted for 151 minutes, covering 1,291 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 30.2950362 and longitude of -70.3952111. The climb took 3 minutes and covered 33 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 31,001 feet to 32,992 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time from a latitude of 30.5970731 and longitude of -69.8153818, and lasted for 189 minutes, covering 1,839 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 47.1433297 and longitude of -36.64491. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 32,996 feet to 34,382 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time from a latitude of 47.2781351 and longitude of -36.2192393, and lasted for 182 minutes, covering 1,694 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles west of Oost-Vlieland, the Netherlands. The descent took 12 minutes and covered 73 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,008 feet to 3,028 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time from 29 miles west of Bergen aan Zee, the Netherlands, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Noordwijk-Binnen, the Netherlands. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 3,002 feet to 1,319 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 145 knots and a distance of 354 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,783 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 5,141 nautical miles, took 582 minutes, and used 77,307 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots, but still within a safe margin. The touchdown distance of 354 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the aircraft's stable landing. However, the touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 4°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,783 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
