Slow down before tight turns
See Departure Taxi
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 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 to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 05 at WIMM Kualanamu International Airport in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 1,907 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 273 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the airport and continued for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 280 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,141 feet above sea level to 38,851 feet above sea level, a total increase of 37,710 feet.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles south east of Pekan in Pahang, Malaysia. This phase lasted for 87 minutes and covered a distance of 1,057 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 25 miles south east of Araceli in the Philippines. The descent from 38,790 feet above sea level to 3,472 feet above sea level took only 5 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Pulupandan in the Philippines and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles south west of Bacolod City in the Philippines. The descent from 2,991 feet above sea level to 1,367 feet above sea level took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at RPVB Bacolod-Silay Airport was made from the south west, heading 30.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 206 meters and a touchdown speed of 121 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 47 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 674 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,518 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 143 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,002 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at RPVB Bacolod-Silay Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 30.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 206 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 121 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below par at -261 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, but this did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 47°. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 674 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land efficiently and maintain control throughout the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
