Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 started with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at CYYC Calgary International Airport, taking 11 minutes to cover 3 nm. The departure roll from runway 17R was successful, with the aircraft reaching a liftoff speed of 165 kn after covering 45% of the 1,749 m runway. The local weather at departure showed a temperature of 2 °C and a wind of 4 kn at 190 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 4 kn.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of CYYC Calgary International Airport, climbing from 4,576 ft asl to 35,283 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 131 nm. The aircraft then reached a level cruise 6 miles east of CJF4 Jaques Farms Airport Buffalo for 2 minutes, covering 36 nm. The subsequent descent started 1 mile south east of CJD5 Leader Airport, descending from 35,282 ft asl to 33,758 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 31 nm. Another level cruise segment started 13 miles north of CJJ5 Cabri Airport for 16 minutes, covering 263 nm. The final descent on the route began 3 miles north of CJB5 Moosomin Airport, descending from 32,984 ft asl to 1,854 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 172 nm.
The final approach was to runway 36 at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, coming from the south at a heading of 8.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,072 ft agl. The landing on the 3,357 m runway was successful, with a slightly fast touchdown speed of 149 kn. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 ft/m, with the runway touchdown position being significantly misaligned by 17.0 m from the centerline. The local weather at the destination showed a temperature of -20 °C and a wind of 15 kn at 330 °, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 11 kn.
The total landing distance was 1,307 m, accounting for 39% of the runway, with a misalignment of 17.0 m from the centerline during runway rollout. After landing, the taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 643 nm over 63 minutes, using 4,103 kg of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 91.5% is quite impressive and demonstrates a high level of proficiency in several key areas of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a strong ability to maintain proper descent angles and stay on target for a smooth touchdown. While your threshold speed was slightly above the target at 154 knots, this is a minor deviation and does not significantly impact the overall quality of the approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was solid with a good threshold height and a great landing flare. This suggests that you were able to properly adjust your pitch attitude for a smooth transition from descent to the touchdown phase.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were both strengths and areas for improvement. Your touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute is fair, indicating a decent level of control during the final moments of the landing. However, your touchdown speed of 149 knots was a little fast, which could potentially lead to a harder landing and increased stress on the aircraft. It would be beneficial to focus on reducing your touchdown speed in future landings to ensure a smoother touchdown.
Additionally, while your touchdown distance of 432 meters was good, the runway touchdown position being significantly misaligned by 17.0 meters from the centerline is a concern. Proper alignment with the runway centerline is crucial for safe and accurate landings, so working on improving this aspect of your technique would be beneficial for future flights.
Overall, your performance during this landing was strong and demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency. By continuing to focus on areas such as touchdown speed and alignment, you can further improve your landing technique and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to fine-tune your skills for a safer and smoother landing experience.
