Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,555 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,555 m of the 2,820 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 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 777F aircraft, departing from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft took off, it rolled down the runway for 2,185 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 189 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead Sydenham, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 29,670 feet, an increase of 28,651 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles south-west of Oberon, another town in New South Wales, and lasted for 147 minutes, covering a distance of 1,207 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 29,892 feet to 31,662 feet, an increase of 1,770 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 37 miles south of Kintore, a town in the Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted for 162 minutes, covering a distance of 1,309 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,108 feet to 33,905 feet, an increase of 1,797 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting from a location with coordinates Latitude: -11.3371663 and Longitude: 110.5302222, and lasted for 330 minutes, covering a distance of 2,769 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 34,189 feet to 1,311 feet, a decrease of 32,878 feet, in 30 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles. The final approach was made to runway 09 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) from the west, with a heading of 89.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was recorded at 142 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -123 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 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,478 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,502 nautical miles, taking a total of 702 minutes, and the aircraft used 101,789 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) on runway 09, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was 124 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good landing. The aircraft's descent rate was smooth, at -123 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 2,820 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,478 meters, which was 52% of the available runway.
The pilot's skill and experience were evident in the perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. The aircraft came to a stop in a straight line, without any deviation from the centerline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently, and the pilot achieving a high score for their performance.
