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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,440 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 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 20 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 05 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,182 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 100 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 2 miles north of the airport and reached an altitude of 33,227 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,650 feet from the initial altitude of 1,577 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 5 miles northwest of St. Thomas, Ontario, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 419 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 5 miles north of Gamaliel, Kentucky, and took 17 minutes to descend from 34,256 feet to 1,831 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,425 feet. This descent covered a distance of 53 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 198.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 420 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was 24 feet per minute, which was considered perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 209 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 573 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,395 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach to runway 20L was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 136 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 145 knots. The touchdown distance of 420 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of 24 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 5.6 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,174 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold. The minor deviation in touchdown position and the favorable weather conditions contributed to the high score achieved by the Boeing 737-900 aircraft.
