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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 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 CRJ900, then departed from runway 24R at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,621 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, a wind speed of 11 knots at 240°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,639 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 30,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,358 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport and continued until the aircraft reached the desired altitude.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Canandaigua, New York, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 31,005 feet above sea level to 4,133 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,872 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Westchester County Airport, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final descent began 2 miles south of Jersey City, New Jersey, and continued until the aircraft reached an altitude of 3,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 577 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead South Beach, New York, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent began overhead Dyker Heights, New York, and continued until the aircraft reached an altitude of 1,498 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,491 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at LaGuardia Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 32.0°, at an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 144 knots, and the touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 50°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,286 meters, which was 60% 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 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 395 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 2,297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 32.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,457 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,135 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's alignment. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 50°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,286 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and a relatively short landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and touchdown speeds, which may be worth addressing in future training or operations.
