See Arrival 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,803 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,803 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,654 ft 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 01L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 3,511 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KSFO, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 210°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft to an altitude of 40,923 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 141 nautical miles and took 21 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 39,908 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of Bridgeport, California. This phase lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 593 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles northeast of Crested Butte Airpark in Colorado. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 41,120 feet to 11,139 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,981 feet, in just 14 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of The Pinery in Colorado and lasted for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Everitt Airport in Parker, Colorado. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,022 feet to 6,570 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,452 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at Denver International Airport (KDEN) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 35L, which had a length of 12,039 feet. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 300 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 50°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,549 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 863 nautical miles, and the flight took 128 minutes to complete, using a total of 25,622 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) on runway 35L. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, which was slightly above the target speed.
The touchdown point was located 300 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. However, the touchdown speed and rate were still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, allowing the aircraft to maintain its alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 5,549 feet was 46% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop without incident. The slight deviations from the target touchdown point and speed were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
