Improve the 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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London City Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft taking off after covering 78% of the runway's length, which was 1,046 meters. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Abbey Wood, Greater London, England. The climb took place from an altitude of 310 meters above sea level to 771 meters above sea level, an increase of 460.9 meters, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Barking, Greater London, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time overhead Woodford Green, Greater London, England, where it climbed from 911 meters above sea level to 5,427 meters above sea level, an increase of 4,516.4 meters, in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued overhead Pulloxhill, Central Bedfordshire, England, lasting for 7 minutes and covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time overhead Blaby, Leicestershire, England, where it climbed from 5,486 meters above sea level to 6,048 meters above sea level, an increase of 561.7 meters, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Coalville, Leicestershire, England. The descent took place from an altitude of 6,119 meters above sea level to 506 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,612.9 meters, in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05L at Manchester Airport took place from the south west, with the aircraft heading 51.0 degrees at an altitude of 436.1 meters above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 05L, which was 2,434 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 131 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 404 meters. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -0.9 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,345 meters, which was 55% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 144 nautical miles, taking 36 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,464 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 51.0° at an altitude of 436.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on the runway with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 131 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 404 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also good, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second was within the normal range, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C. The total landing distance of 1,345 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.0%.
