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 2,017 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,017 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 576 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport (VTBS) in Bangkok, Thailand.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots (kt) and covered a distance of 1,545 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 39°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 210°.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Suvarnabhumi Airport and reached an altitude of 28,638 feet above sea level (ft asl) in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 27 minutes and covered a distance of 230 nm.
The enroute climb phase resumed 28 miles east of Pyapon, Myanmar, and reached an altitude of 35,009 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nm.
The enroute descent phase began 5 miles north west of Pathein, Myanmar, and descended from 35,982 ft asl to 28,015 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nm.
The enroute descent phase resumed 90 miles south west of Manaung Airport, Myanmar, and descended from 27,980 ft asl to 27,069 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nm.
The enroute climb phase resumed 99 miles south west of Manaung Airport and reached an altitude of 27,690 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nm.
The enroute climb phase resumed again, this time from Latitude: 18.2313621 to Longitude: 91.2144719, and reached an altitude of 33,737 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nm.
The enroute descent phase began Latitude: 18.7657699 to Longitude: 89.7987509 and descended from 33,149 ft asl to 27,996 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nm.
The enroute climb phase resumed 101 miles south west of the Amphibious Ready Group - Bay of Bengal and reached an altitude of 29,987 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nm.
The enroute descent phase resumed 70 miles south east of Paradip Garh, India, and descended from 29,748 ft asl to 28,048 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nm.
The enroute descent phase resumed again,
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07R, achieving a score of 97.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 68.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 702 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well within the acceptable range. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, registering at 139 knots. This may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilots to ensure a safe touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 163 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the aircraft's touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. The touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 224°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,939 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control during the rollout phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
