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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 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 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 1,001 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Suvarnabhumi Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,071 feet above sea level to 6,229 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southwest of the Bang Bo District in Thailand and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 5 miles west of Bang Pakong in Thailand, rising from 6,239 feet above sea level to 40,574 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued for a significant period, lasting 129 minutes and covering a distance of 968 nautical miles, starting 16 miles north of Sisophon in Cambodia. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles west of Cabra in the Philippines, descending from 40,603 feet above sea level to 7,459 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed for a brief period, lasting 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, starting 9 miles east of Rodriguez in the Philippines. The aircraft then began its final descent 6 miles northeast of Teresa in the Philippines, descending from 7,195 feet above sea level to 1,862 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the Philippines was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,780 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots and a touchdown distance of 335 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 885 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,247 nautical miles, taking a total of 190 minutes, and the aircraft used 18,846 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER successfully landed at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the designated heading of 239.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,780 feet above ground level. This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, ultimately resulting in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 118 knots, registering at 117 knots. This slight deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 335 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The touchdown rate of -308 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach strategy to achieve a more precise alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed to mitigate during the landing. The total landing distance of 885 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, showcasing the capabilities of the Boeing 777-200ER and the skills of the pilot.
