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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 216 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 30L at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, a Mexican airport. The takeoff distance was 2,007 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 225°, a crosswind of 3 knots, and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cancún, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 980 feet above sea level to 33,760 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,781 feet. The enroute level cruise then began at a location with a latitude of 23.1686197 and a longitude of -87.1194944, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 408 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,000 feet above sea level to 35,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,997 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 5 miles north of Laplace, Louisiana, and lasted for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 1,140 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles south of Karlstad, Minnesota. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,144 feet above sea level to 1,685 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,460 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport was made from the north, heading 189.0° at 4 nautical miles and 906 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 219 meters, a touchdown speed of 142 knots, and a touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 225°, a crosswind of 2 knots, and a headwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,841 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 147 minutes. The aircraft used 9,716 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 189.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 906 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 18, which has a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 142 knots, which was slightly faster than the ideal speed. However, the touchdown distance of 219 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft had a stable and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,217 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal drag or other factors affecting the aircraft's movement. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft had maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
