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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at HECA Cairo International Airport took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A350-1000 then began its departure roll on runway 05L, utilizing 44% of the 1,460-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°C, with a negligible wind of 6 knots at 0°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cairo International Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,207 feet above sea level to 38,000 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 237 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started approximately 74 miles northeast of Mersa Matruh and lasted for 109 minutes, covering a distance of 807 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 38,000 feet to 1,299 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded with a final approach to runway 29 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport, where the aircraft touched down with a touchdown distance of 215 meters, slightly above the target threshold speed of 139 knots.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was a little fast, and a touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,194 meters, utilizing 45% of the 2,644-meter runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,150 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 169 minutes and a fuel consumption of 18,910 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 293.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots, but still within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 215 meters, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute was fair. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a 4-knot headwind, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,194 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 99.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
