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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,525 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,525 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 25R at WIII Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,118 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Teluknaga in Jawa Barat, Indonesia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,075 feet above sea level to 8,426 feet, an increase of 7,351 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Sepatan in Jawa Barat, Indonesia. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 8,996 feet to 36,930 feet, an increase of 27,934 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The climb started 14 miles northeast of Teluknaga.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, which lasted for 194 minutes and covered a distance of 1,539 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location, with coordinates of latitude -4.3753457 and longitude 108.0965303. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, starting at a location with coordinates of latitude 20.4747014 and longitude 114.5854671. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,614 feet to 1,317 feet, a decrease of 35,297 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 71.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 3,731 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 340 meters, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,447 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,817 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 260 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 30,260 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold speed of 137 knots being achieved. This speed is crucial in determining the aircraft's ability to safely touch down on the runway. The touchdown distance of 340 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also satisfactory, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, there was a slight deviation in the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -209 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it did not compromise the safety of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,447 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
