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 1,662 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,662 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 731 m 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 707-320 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 13L at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK), with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 179 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots blowing from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Lohmar, Germany. The climb took place over a distance of 18 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,329 feet above sea level to 19,837 feet above sea level in 7 minutes. This marked the beginning of the aircraft's ascent to cruising altitude.
The enroute descent started overhead Reiferscheid, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 19,850 feet above sea level to 13,069 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles, before beginning another climb phase 1 mile west of Messel, Germany.
The climb took place over a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 13,003 feet above sea level to 13,939 feet above sea level in 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 8 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent 2 miles south of Kefenrod, Germany.
The descent took place over a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 13,139 feet above sea level to 12,525 feet above sea level in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered another climb phase 2 miles north-west of Steinau an der Strasse, Germany, before beginning a level cruise phase lasting 11 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft continued to alternate between climb and descent phases, with each phase taking place over a specific distance and duration. The final descent phase started overhead Schluechtern, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 13,903 feet above sea level to 4,022 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles, before beginning a climb phase 1 mile south-east of Fladungen, Germany. The climb took place over a distance of 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 4,004 feet above sea level to 15,518 feet above sea level in 3 minutes.
The final descent phase started 1 mile south of Sandberg, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 15,591 feet above sea level to 12,717 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before beginning a climb phase overhead Wasserlosen, Germany.
The climb took place over a distance of 11 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 12,460 feet above sea level to 16,626 feet above sea level in 2 minutes. The final descent phase started 1 mile north-east of Oberpleichfeld, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 13,811 feet above sea level to 4,385 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The
The Boeing 707-320 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach, resulting in a very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, reaching 193 knots. However, the touchdown point was 319 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 186 knots was also faster than the recommended speed, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,586 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length. This distance is relatively short, indicating a successful landing. Overall, the landing was considered good, with some minor deviations from the recommended speeds and touchdown point. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills ensured a safe and controlled landing.
