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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,727 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,727 m of the 3,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 567 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 04R at Daniel K Inouye International Airport (PHNL) in Honolulu, Hawaii.
During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 184 knots (kt) and covered a distance of 2,081 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, a wind speed of 7 kt at 40°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles northwest of Honolulu. The climb took 25 minutes to reach an altitude of 37,396 feet above sea level (asl), an increase of 36,340 feet from the initial altitude of 1,056 feet asl. The aircraft covered a distance of 134 nm during this climb phase.
The enroute level cruise phase began at a latitude of 23.2425246 and a longitude of -156.5566882, lasting for 84 minutes and covering a distance of 649 nm. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 38,541 feet asl to 39,878 feet asl, an increase of 1,337 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm.
The second enroute level cruise phase started at a latitude of 29.7365989 and a longitude of -146.5284594, lasting for 200 minutes and covering a distance of 1,650 nm. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 38,367 feet asl to 40,472 feet asl, an increase of 2,105 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase continued, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 40,472 feet asl for 144 minutes, covering a distance of 1,206 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Waukegan, Illinois, and descending from 40,930 feet asl to 24,395 feet asl, a decrease of 16,535 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 24,395 feet asl for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nm. The descent phase continued, with the aircraft descending from 24,319 feet asl to 18,470 feet asl, a decrease of 5,849 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 18,470 feet asl for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm. The descent phase continued, with the aircraft descending from 18,470 feet asl to 7,091 feet asl, a decrease of 11,378 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 7,091 feet asl for 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The descent phase continued, with the aircraft descending from 7,091 feet asl to 1,952 feet asl, a decrease of 5,140 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nm.
The final approach to runway 09C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) began
The Boeing 777-200ER successfully landed at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport on runway 09C. The aircraft's final approach was from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, with a score of 90.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 153 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,648 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilot's performance was commendable.
