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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,827 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,827 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 752 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 15R at ORBI Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base. The takeoff distance was 2,591 meters, which was 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. The crosswind component was zero, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of the airport and reaching a height of 34,363 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 145 nautical miles and took 22 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 33,484 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 18 miles southeast of ORAQ Qayyarah South Airport Ash Sharqat. This phase lasted for 258 minutes and covered a distance of 1,970 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Vladslo in Flanders, Belgium. The descent phase covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and took 21 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 33,487 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Edenbridge in Kent, England. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 258.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 260 degrees.
The aircraft landed on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 148 knots. The touchdown point was 340 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -175 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,239 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 314 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 50,710 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) on runway 26L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 148 knots, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 340 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 260°. There was no crosswind component, which made the landing conditions favorable. The runway length of 2,495 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,750 meters, which represented approximately 70% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
