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 1,942 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,942 m of the 2,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,401 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KBOS Logan International Airport, and climbed from 1,050 feet above sea level to 32,323 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,272 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south east of Westhampton Beach, New York, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 503 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 6 miles south west of Loris, South Carolina, and climbed from 32,306 feet above sea level to 33,609 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,303 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles north west of 2SC7 Laurel Hill Farms Airport, McClellanville, South Carolina, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 328 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Fellsmere, Florida, and descended from 34,251 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,962 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, heading 87.0 degrees, at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08L, which had a length of 2,614 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 164 knots.
The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 159 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,872 meters, which was 72% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,134 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 8,795 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 08L, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 164 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 162 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach. The touchdown speed of 159 knots was also faster than desired, resulting in a touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,872 meters was 72% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
