Improve the taxi
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 1,717 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,717 m of the 3,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 494 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 22 at Lomé–Tokoin International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 935 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Lomé, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,075 feet above sea level to 36,840 feet, an increase of 35,765 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 136 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 182 minutes and covered a distance of 1,479 nautical miles. This phase took place 22 miles southwest of Sotouboua, Togo. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,578 feet to 38,959 feet, an increase of 1,381 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This climb started 56 miles west of Hamada-Nc5 Airport in Libya.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 583 nautical miles. This phase took place 52 miles southwest of Alzintan Airport in Libya. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 39,050 feet to 41,040 feet, an increase of 1,990 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This climb started 24 miles northwest of the Ionian Sea Moving Carrier in Greece.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 62 minutes and covered a distance of 504 nautical miles. This phase took place 34 miles southwest of Argyrades in Greece. The aircraft then began its descent, which started overhead Grebanu in Romania. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 41,024 feet to 1,679 feet, a decrease of 39,346 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Chişinău International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 89.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 3,567 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,641 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 2 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,873 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 376 minutes. The aircraft used 38,728 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at LUKK Chişinău International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 84 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than ideal, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,641 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
