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.
Side view — the last 1,623 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,623 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 655 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Nantes Atlantique Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 50 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nantes, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 34,685 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 136 nautical miles and took 24 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 33,728 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its first descent phase, which started 1 mile west of Llandissilio in Wales and took the aircraft down to a height of 23,573 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 30 nautical miles and took 4 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 11,567 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its second descent phase, which started 28 miles east of Courtown in Ireland and took the aircraft down to a height of 6,838 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 39 nautical miles and took 7 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 16,706 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its third descent phase, which started 17 miles east of Loughshinny in Ireland and took the aircraft down to a height of 1,483 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 22 nautical miles and took 7 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 5,362 feet.
The final approach to Dublin Airport took place on runway 28L, with the aircraft approaching from the east and heading 275.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,548 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 455 nautical miles, and the flight took 91 minutes to complete, using 4,413 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 6°C and wind speeds of 20 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 17 knots, and the tailwind component was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,548 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilots executed a smooth touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was properly configured for the conditions. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
