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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,729 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,729 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,573 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from a direction of 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,102 feet above sea level to 39,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,893 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles south of Blidoe in Sweden and lasting 23 minutes, covering a distance of 669 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 49 miles northeast of Caister-on-Sea in England and descending from 40,000 feet above sea level to 10,999 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,000 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Kelvedon Hatch in England and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Kelvedon Hatch and descending from 11,005 feet above sea level to 1,438 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,567 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,352 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 435 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -402 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots coming from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,645 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,054 nautical miles, taking a total of 69 minutes, and the aircraft used 16,045 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,352 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,591 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, registering at 134 kt. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 435 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 kt. The touchdown rate was also reported as hard, with a descent rate of -402 feet per minute (fpm). Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.0 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 kt blowing from 180°. This resulted in a 10 kt crosswind and a 0 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 1,645 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown on the runway.
