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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,909 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,909 m of the 2,878 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,526 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany. The climb took 16 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles, and increased the aircraft's altitude from 1,338 feet above sea level to 31,318 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Juchen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and lasted for 252 minutes, covering a distance of 1,869 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 32,083 feet to 33,843 feet, an increase of 1,760 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb started 73 miles southwest of Qaqortoq, Greenland.
The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 82 minutes, covering a distance of 588 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,602 feet to 35,147 feet, an increase of 1,545 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb started 51 miles southeast of Kuujjuaq Airport, Quebec, Canada.
The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 138 minutes, covering a distance of 1,001 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 36,538 feet to 37,059 feet, an increase of 520 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb started 13 miles northeast of Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States.
The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 136 minutes, covering a distance of 917 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Kenney Reservoir, Colorado, United States. The descent took 18 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles, and decreased the aircraft's altitude from 37,581 feet to 7,859 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at Yampa Valley Airport (KHDN) was made from the west, heading 114.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown point was 127 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -12°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was also 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,826 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,588 nautical miles, taking 659 minutes, and the aircraft used 84,898 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KHDN Yampa Valley Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 114.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 10 was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 127 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than the recommended speed, but the touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of -12°C and no wind. This allowed the pilot to focus on the approach and landing without any external factors affecting the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,826 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 98.8%. This achievement reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures.
