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 2,094 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,094 m of the 2,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,580 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Calgary, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of CYYC and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,575 feet above sea level to 33,983 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,407 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 18 miles west of Jaques Farms Airport (CJF4) in Buffalo, Alberta, Canada. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 390 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 13 miles north of Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome (CYVD) in Virden, Manitoba, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,229 feet above sea level to 2,079 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,150 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the northwest, heading 139.0° at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,652 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 knots.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 148 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -278 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 80°, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,016 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 649 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 4,166 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 13. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 139.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, registering at 153 kt. However, the touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 148 kt was also a bit faster than the desired speed, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 5 kt from 80°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,016 meters was 76% of the available 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 aircraft was well under control during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 97.7%.
