Slow down before tight turns
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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 409 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a takeoff distance of 1,616 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 340°. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level to 32,825 feet, an increase of 31,783 feet, in 35 minutes and covering a distance of 251 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles north of Belen, Uruguay, and lasted for 179 minutes, covering a distance of 1,506 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,127 feet to 34,565 feet, an increase of 1,438 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruises and climbs, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 39,266 feet. The enroute level cruises lasted for varying periods, ranging from 122 minutes to 186 minutes, and covered distances of up to 1,597 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 38,730 feet above sea level to 6,767 feet, a decrease of 31,963 feet, in 22 minutes and covering 147 nautical miles. The descent continued with multiple level cruises and descents, with the aircraft eventually starting its final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
The final approach was made from the east, heading 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,329 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 408 meters and a touchdown speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was hard at -470 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,268 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,080 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 743 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 86,034 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 27R, which has a length of 2,692 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -470 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 408 meters was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,268 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and safety, earning the Airbus A350-1000 a score of 96.8%.
