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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Larnaca International Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 04, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in 946 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 124 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from 359°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Larnaca, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 990 feet above sea level to 42,993 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of the enroute level cruise, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered 234 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft 74 miles southeast of Beykonak, Turkey. The enroute descent phase followed, with the aircraft descending from 42,994 feet to 1,597 feet in 22 minutes, covering 162 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03R was executed with a threshold speed of 109 knots, and the touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 104 knots was slightly above the optimal value, the touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 556 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 66 minutes and a fuel consumption of 731 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 37.0° at 4 nm and 1,312 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 109 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a gentle rate of descent that allowed for a smooth touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down 56 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 104 kt was slightly above the ideal range, but the touchdown rate of -207 fpm was fair, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a headwind of 16 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 743 m, which accounted for 22% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision, earning a score of 98.6%. The minor deviations in touchdown speed and distance were offset by the excellent approach quality and perfect touchdown and rollout alignment.
