Improve the taxi
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 1,601 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,601 m of the 2,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 36 at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The takeoff distance was 1,492 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 180 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Zanzibar, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 192 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport and reached an altitude of 34,336 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,255 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of HKMO Moi International Airport in Mombasa, Kenya. This phase lasted for 93 minutes, covering a distance of 774 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,243 feet to 35,924 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,680 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This phase lasted for 185 minutes, covering a distance of 1,393 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,898 feet to 36,894 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,996 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 14 miles north east of Al `Alamayn, Egypt. This phase lasted for 196 minutes, covering a distance of 1,553 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 1 mile north east of Werl, Germany. The descent from 35,896 feet to 1,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,614 feet in 27 minutes, covered a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the south, heading 3.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 438 meters and a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,519 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,023 nautical miles, taking a total of 534 minutes, and the aircraft used 66,293 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 438 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown over a slower speed.
The landing rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 300°, presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The crosswind component of 7 knots and the headwind component of 4 knots were also taken into account by the pilot, who successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,519 meters, which accounts for 54% of the runway length, was reasonable, considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown and had successfully brought it to a stop within a short distance. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control over the aircraft.
