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 2,613 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at PTYA Yap International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,006 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Colonia in the State of Yap, Micronesia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,077 feet above sea level to 35,963 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,886 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 216 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 29 minutes and covered a distance of 226 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 11.1142355 and a longitude of 141.3894991. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning 9 miles southwest of Santa Rita Village in the Santa Rita Municipality, Guam. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,028 feet above sea level to 1,531 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,497 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at PGWT Tinian International Airport was made from the west, heading 79.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 2,613 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -181 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,215 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 566 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used 4,416 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PGWT Tinian International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 79.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto runway 08, which has a length of 2,613 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 373 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and avoided any excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more stable.
The total landing distance of 1,215 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and landing phases of flight.
