Monitor your taxi speed
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,054 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,054 ft of the 12,289 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,236 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A300, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, and the takeoff distance was 4,754 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from KSDF, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and ascending from 1,497 feet above sea level to 36,099 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,602 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued until the aircraft reached a point 2 miles southwest of KVIN Vienna Airport in Illinois, where it transitioned into a level cruise. This phase of the flight lasted 78 minutes and covered a distance of 595 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of TA68 HHI Sabine Heliport in Texas. The descent took place from 36,141 feet above sea level to 1,764 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,377 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading 177.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R, which had a length of 12,289 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed of 119 knots, touchdown distance of 1,241 feet, and touchdown speed of 114 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at 179 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 4,777 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 773 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes, with the aircraft using 21,443 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A300 successfully landed on runway 18R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,241 feet was also good, suggesting that the aircraft had landed smoothly and without any significant loss of altitude.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the aircraft had landed with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 4,777 feet was 39% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had landed smoothly and without any significant loss of control.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Airbus A300 demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
