Monitor your taxi speed
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.
Side view — the last 1,686 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,686 m of the 3,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 738 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 03L at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa. The takeoff distance was 1,291 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,525 feet above sea level to 30,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,730 feet in just 10 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 69 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 2 miles southwest of Makapanstad Airport in South Africa. This phase of the flight lasted for 636 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4,638 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Bucha in Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,080 feet above sea level to 2,132 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,948 feet in just 18 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26R at Leipzig/Halle Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,667 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 26R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 323 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 139 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,606 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,762 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 640 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 69,983 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport, achieving a high score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 26R was conducted from the east, with a heading of 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,667 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 323 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 139°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,606 meters was 45% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone may require some attention during future landings.
