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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,408 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 22 at KLEX Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. The takeoff distance was 1,067 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KLEX, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 37,608 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 235 nautical miles and took 32 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 35,612 feet. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Woodstock, Georgia, and lasted for 256 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,935 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began at a specific location, with latitude 1.9347258 and longitude -88.8320076. The aircraft descended from 37,927 feet above sea level to 1,416 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,511 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 166 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at SEGS Seymour Galapagos Ecological Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 144.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 296 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 122 knots, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 183 degrees.
The total landing distance was 724 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,342 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 302 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,837 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at SEGS Seymour Galapagos Ecological Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 144.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 296 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, at -85 feet per minute. This indicates a controlled and stable touchdown, with minimal impact on the aircraft's structure. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a light wind of 4 knots from 183°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 knots each, which did not significantly affect the aircraft's approach and landing performance.
The total landing distance of 724 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill in executing a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft's landing at SEGS Seymour Galapagos Ecological Airport was a success, with a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, landing, and rollout phases.
