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 1,525 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,525 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 19R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,834 meters, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 185 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from San Francisco, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Millbrae, California. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,118 feet above sea level to 36,031 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,913 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 10 miles south-east of Bear Valley Airport in California. This cruise phase lasted for 215 minutes and covered a distance of 1,938 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles west of Jersey Shore Airport in Pennsylvania. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,300 feet above sea level to 21,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,014 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Holiday Pocono in Pennsylvania. This cruise phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of John E. Rogers Airport in New Jersey. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 19,980 feet above sea level to 1,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,710 feet.
As the aircraft approached Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR), it began its final approach to runway 22L from the north-east, heading 206.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots and a touchdown distance of 278 meters. The touchdown rate was hard at -433 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,446 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 279 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 35,607 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 147 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 278 meters, and the touchdown speed of 146 knots was well within the recommended range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -433 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight over-rotation of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment.
The total landing distance of 1,446 meters was 68% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to stop safely. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length. However, the slight misalignment during the rollout phase may indicate a need for further refinement of the aircraft's control inputs during the landing phase.
