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 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 3,958 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 729 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at VOMM Chennai International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft used 2,291 m of runway (63 % of the available length) and lifted off at 189 kt; ambient temperature was 32 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb began overhead Pallavaram, Tamil Nadu, climbing from 1,033 ft asl to 5,635 ft asl-a gain of 4,602 ft-in 3 minutes while covering 16 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 1 mile north-west of Naravarikuppam, Tamil Nadu, lasting 3 minutes and traversing 17 nm.
The second climb segment started 11 miles east of Minjur, Tamil Nadu, ascending from 6,047 ft asl to 30,947 ft asl (increase of 24,900 ft) over 20 minutes and 148 nm.
Subsequent cruise began at latitude 11.8275785, longitude 82.3331711 and continued for 271 minutes, covering 2,187 nm.
A further climb was initiated at latitude -11.2970049, longitude 110.4756451, raising the aircraft from 30,999 ft asl to 32,485 ft asl (gain of 1,486 ft) in 2 minutes while moving 14 nm.
The following cruise segment started at latitude -11.4474207, longitude 110.6782384 and lasted 153 minutes, during which 1,333 nm were flown.
The next climb originated 51 miles north-east of YDVR Docker River Airport, Kaltukatjara, Northern Territory, climbing from 33,006 ft asl to 34,995 ft asl (increase of 1,989 ft) in 3 minutes and covering 33 nm.
A cruise leg then began 58 miles east of the same airport, lasting 113 minutes and encompassing 1,112 nm.
Descent commenced 4 miles south-east of YCUA Cudal Airport, New South Wales, descending from 35,007 ft asl to 1,277 ft asl-a loss of 33,731 ft-in 27 minutes while covering 159 nm.
The final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was flown from the south, on a heading of 348.0° at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl.
Landing on runway 34L, which is 3,965 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 150 kt; touchdown was recorded 319 m beyond the touchdown zone at 141 kt and a vertical speed of minus 145 fpm, with a lateral deviation of 3.5 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 19 °C, wind 8 kt from 260°, cross-wind 7 kt and no head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,557 m (39 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 5,029 nm, lasted 605 minutes, and consumed 91,431 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F on final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was aligned on a heading of 348.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 150 kt. The flare was executed with the aircraft configured for landing and the speed remained within the expected range.
Touchdown occurred 319 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 141 kt, described as good. The touchdown rate was smooth at minus 145 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 1,557 m, representing 39 % of the 3,965 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good and the aircraft remained on the centreline through the rollout under temperature 19 °C, wind 8 kt at 260°, crosswind 7 kt and headwind 0 kt.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the threshold speed to the target value and adjusting the touchdown point to land closer to the 300 m aim point, which will further optimise runway usage and alignment.
