Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 32 at FIMP Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,876 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Plaine Magnien in the Grand Port District of Mauritius. The climb took 31 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,321 feet above sea level to 33,999 feet, an increase of 32,678 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 232 minutes and covered a distance of 1,986 nautical miles. The cruise phase started at a latitude of -17.2423474 and a longitude of 55.4061212. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 33,999 feet to 36,014 feet, an increase of 2,015 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles.
The second climb phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 38 miles east of Maych'ew in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. This cruise phase lasted 162 minutes and covered a distance of 1,266 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a third climb phase, from 36,000 feet to 37,999 feet, an increase of 1,999 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles.
The third climb phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 38 miles south east of HE31 Malan Frein Airport in the Muhafazat Matruh region of Egypt. This cruise phase lasted 200 minutes and covered a distance of 1,552 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting overhead Belleneuve in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France. The descent took 28 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,466 feet to 1,693 feet, a decrease of 35,774 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, heading 265.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,339 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters and a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -367 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 5,253 nautical miles, taking a total of 680 minutes, and the aircraft used 77,359 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -367 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,211 meters was 45% 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 pilot maintained a steady and controlled rate of deceleration during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
