Improve the 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: 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 5,331 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,331 ft of the 13,156 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,828 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 a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took a significant amount of time, approximately 83 minutes, and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft departed from runway 16 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML), located in the state of Victoria, Australia.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 182 knots, covering a distance of 4,750 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 159°, resulting in a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Melbourne International Airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 29,614 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 378 minutes and covered a distance of 3,198 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, with notable stops at Borung Borung, Buenavista, Concepcion Ibaba, Fenghua, and Yangpu Airport. During these phases, the aircraft climbed to various altitudes, including 31,123 feet, and covered significant distances.
The final descent phase began 13 miles south-west of Fenghua, where the aircraft descended from 36,931 feet to 9,151 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 162.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 476 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 250°.
The total landing distance was 5,079 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The post-landing taxiing process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,468 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 589 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, approximately 210,868 pounds, during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure. The aircraft was approaching runway 17L from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a safe and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 476 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -127 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 250°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the landing, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,079 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process and had successfully aligned it with the runway centerline after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their landing procedure. The aircraft's performance was excellent, with a smooth and controlled touchdown and a short landing distance.
