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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,661 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,661 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Paris-Beauvais Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 30, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 162 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,546 meters accounted for 65% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground at the designated point.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 7°C and winds of 8 knots at 269°. The enroute climb phase began overhead Tille, Hauts-de-France, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,334 feet above sea level to 33,990 feet, a vertical increase of 32,656 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase overhead Shipbourne, Kent, England, the aircraft initiated its descent phase, starting 4 miles west of Brecon, Sir Powys, Wales. The descent from 34,012 feet to 1,662 feet took 19 minutes, covering 152 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Dublin Airport, it aligned itself with runway 28L, heading 275.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,435 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target at 160 knots, and the touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 155 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 450 nautical miles was achieved in 49 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,558 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the east. The aircraft's descent was well-controlled, with a good threshold height achieved prior to touchdown. However, the threshold speed was notably higher than the target, reaching 160 kt, which may have been influenced by the prevailing headwind of 19 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 155 kt, which was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a touchdown rate of -187 fpm. The touchdown point was located 65 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 4.1 m from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall touchdown characteristics were satisfactory.
The aircraft's rollout was executed smoothly, with excellent alignment to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,584 m accounted for 61% of the runway length, which is within acceptable parameters. Considering the approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout performance, the overall score for this landing was 98.8%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3 °C and a moderate headwind, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
