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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 245 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from EDDV Hannover Airport, rolling down runway 09R with a takeoff distance of 1,220 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots, taking advantage of a 9-knot headwind. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 90°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 34 nautical miles in 7 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,119 feet above sea level to 23,001 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining its altitude for 5 minutes while covering another 34 nautical miles. The crew initiated a descent from 22,999 feet, reducing the altitude to 12,079 feet over a distance of 42 nautical miles in 7 minutes. The aircraft continued to descend, eventually reaching its final approach altitude of 1,510 feet above ground level.
The aircraft began its final approach to runway 06L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, aligning itself with the runway from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 112 knots, with a touchdown distance of 246 meters. The total landing distance was 1,038 meters, accounting for 35% of the runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, with a flight time of 46 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,502 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 06L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 69.0° at 4 nm and 1,347 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 120 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 112 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 246 m was also good.
However, the touchdown characteristics were not ideal, with a hard touchdown rate of -471 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's high rate of descent, which could be a result of the pilot's decision to maintain a high approach speed. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 344°, were not particularly challenging.
The total landing distance of 1,038 m, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was acceptable. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.8%, indicating a good performance but with some room for improvement.
