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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 590 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the taxiing of the Boeing 777F from the parking to the runway at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. After completing the necessary preparations, the aircraft departed on runway 36 and took off with a takeoff distance of 1,884 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 188 knots.
As the aircraft gained altitude, it initially climbed from 1,026 feet above sea level to 28,803 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,778 feet in 16 minutes, while covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. This initial climb phase concluded when the aircraft reached a cruising altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for a short duration of 5 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. However, the flight then entered a series of climbing phases, with the first climb phase taking place from an altitude of 28,977 feet above sea level to 30,964 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 1,987 feet in 3 minutes.
Subsequent climb phases occurred at various stages of the flight, including one from 31,023 feet to 32,771 feet, an increase of 1,748 feet in 2 minutes, and another from 33,486 feet to 34,977 feet, an increase of 1,491 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered further level cruise phases, which lasted for various periods of time and covered significant distances, including a 67-minute cruise phase covering 632 nautical miles and a 269-minute cruise phase covering 2,288 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, it began to enter its final stages, commencing a climb phase from 34,888 feet above sea level to 36,846 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 1,958 feet in 3 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered its final level cruise phase, which lasted for 147 minutes and covered 1,193 nautical miles.
The flight then commenced its descent, beginning from an altitude of 37,224 feet above sea level and descending to 2,115 feet above sea level in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 206 nautical miles. The aircraft then made a final approach to runway 36C at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, where it touched down at a speed of 136 knots and rolled out perfectly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 22°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 50°, and a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -96 feet per minute. Following a smooth landing, the aircraft began its taxiing to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 6,057 nautical miles, took 719 minutes to complete, and utilized 92,564 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a Boeing 777F, successfully landed on runway 36C at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG). The final approach to the runway was executed from the south, with a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,230 feet above ground level (AGL). The pilot maintained a good control over the aircraft, showcasing a high level of proficiency.
The approach and landing performance of the Boeing 777F can be regarded as excellent. Notably, the threshold height was slightly above the target height, but this did not seem to pose any significant challenges to the pilots. The aircraft touched down in a decent manner, with a speed of 136 kt, meeting the standard criteria. The touchdown point was located 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is not excessively far off.
One of the key aspects that contributed to the success of this landing was the optimal alignment of the aircraft upon touchdown. This suggests that the runway was perfectly aligned with the aircraft, minimizing the risk of any directional control issues upon landing. The landing distance was only 1,225 meters, which equates to 37% of the total runway length. This indicates that the Boeing 777F has more than sufficient stopping power, allowing it to make safe landings under various conditions.
The performance of the Boeing 777F during the landing can be considered exemplary, especially considering the local weather conditions at the time. The ambient temperature was a relatively comfortable 22°C, while the wind speed was a mere 6 kt. The crosswind was negligible, measuring only 4 kt, and the headwind was also minimal at 4 kt. As a result, the aircraft's maneuverability remained unaffected, making the landing process smooth and straightforward.
In conclusion, the Boeing 777F demonstrated remarkable landing capabilities at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport. The precise control, good approach speed, excellent touchdown speed, and minimal deviation from the landing zone all point towards a flawless execution. This landing performance is reflective of the skillful pilots and the robust design of the aircraft.
