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.

Side view — the last 1,612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,612 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 09R at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, beginning its journey from KORD. The taxiing process, which took 8 minutes and covered approximately 2 nautical miles, was the first step before departure. During this time, temperatures were recorded at 22°C, with wind speeds of 14 knots from 300°. A crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 7 knots were also present.
Upon taking off, the aircraft climbed at an impressive rate, ascending from a height of 1,685 feet above sea level to 31,875 feet. This significant increase in altitude occurred over an 8-minute period and covered 70 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb to its cruising altitude, reaching an altitude of 31,875 feet.
Upon reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft levelled out and began its enroute cruise. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a substantial distance of 449 nautical miles. The aircraft flew over several locations, including Merton, Wisconsin, before commencing its descent for landing.
The descent began approximately 2 miles east of Warroad, Minnesota, and took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft dropped from a height of 32,791 feet to 2,200 feet, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. Upon reaching the designated altitude, the aircraft began its final approach, heading in a northerly direction towards runway 18 at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport.
Throughout its approach, the aircraft was subjected to a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. As it landed on runway 18, it touched down at a speed of 132 knots, which was faster than the target speed, and had a touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was relatively short, at 425 meters. Notably, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline.
Following a smooth landing, the aircraft continued its taxiing process, taking 2 minutes to reach its designated parking spot. The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, which it covered in 57 minutes, consuming 2,288 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the aircraft demonstrated steady performance during its flight.
The Embraer E175 has successfully landed at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, scoring a high 99.3% on its final approach. Approaching the airport from the north on heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,408 feet Above Ground Level (agl), the aircraft maintained a good visual on the runway. Once over the threshold, the pilots brought the aircraft down to runway 18, which has a total length of 3,357 meters.
The landing was characterized by a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 136 kts, an indicator of the crew's proficiency in handling the aircraft. Additionally, the touchdown distance of 425 meters was impressive, suggesting that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and approach. However, the touchdown speed of 132 kts was notably faster than optimal, resulting in a slightly higher-than-desired touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm).
A minor deviation was observed during the landing when the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, deviating by 3.2 meters from the runway centerline. Nevertheless, this slight misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C and winds blowing at a moderate 6 kt from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a relatively small crosswind component of 3 kt, offset by a 5-kt headwind that helped stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft rolled out along the runway with excellent alignment, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical post-touchdown phase. The total landing distance of 1,533 meters, which represents just 46% of the runway length, further highlights the crew's proficiency in executing a smooth and controlled landing.
Overall, the Embraer E175's performance during this landing was exceptional, with strong scores across the key parameters and a clear demonstration of the crew's expertise in handling the aircraft.
