Monitor your taxi speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,471 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,451 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A330-900 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R at Logan International Airport (KBOS), with a takeoff distance of 3,653 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 79°F temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts, where the aircraft climbed from 1,055 feet above sea level to 38,413 feet, an increase of 37,358 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 220 minutes and covered a distance of 1,831 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute climb, which started at a location with coordinates 59.9183808° latitude and 24.4308131° longitude. The aircraft climbed from 37,383 feet to 40,606 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 189 minutes and covered a distance of 1,878 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent, which started 4 miles southwest of Chekhov, Russia, and ended at an altitude of 3,968 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 8 miles south of Troitsk, Russia, and ended at an altitude of 1,979 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which started 4 miles northwest of Troitsk and ended at an altitude of 916 feet.
The aircraft then began a climb, which started overhead Annino, Russia, and ended at an altitude of 2,590 feet. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles northwest of Vnukovo International Airport and ended at an altitude of 1,220 feet.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Vnukovo International Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 70.0° and at an altitude of 566 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 11,471 feet long, with a threshold speed of 133 knots. The touchdown point was 1,101 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 55°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 260°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,284 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,975 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 419 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 89,950 pounds of fuel
The Airbus A330-900 successfully landed at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 2 nautical miles and 566 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 11,471 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 133 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at 1,101 feet. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a slight tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,284 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with some minor deviations from ideal performance.
