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.
Side view — the last 1,847 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,847 m of the 4,265 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 in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 01, covering a distance of 1,441 meters, which was 75% of the length of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, with the local weather showing a temperature of -13 °C and winds at 5 knots from 29°, resulting in a 4-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind during takeoff.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, with the aircraft climbing from 7,519 feet above sea level to 35,543 feet above sea level over a 70-nautical-mile distance in 19 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 8 miles northeast of Dubois and lasted for 74 minutes, covering 354 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 17 miles north of Picture Butte, with the aircraft descending from 35,384 feet above sea level to 7,424 feet above sea level over a 79-nautical-mile distance in 16 minutes. The second enroute level cruise segment began 3 miles northeast of CEF4 Airdrie Aerodrome and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final descent started 5 miles northeast of Airdrie, with the aircraft descending from 6,788 feet above sea level to 4,690 feet above sea level over a 9-mile distance in 4 minutes. The final approach to runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was executed from the north at a heading of 180.0°, with the aircraft at 4 nautical miles and 1,132 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down slightly beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,768 meters, representing 41% of the runway length. The weather at the destination airport was -15 °C with a 4-knot headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for this journey was 525 nautical miles, with a duration of 108 minutes and fuel consumption of 4,995 kilograms. The overall performance of the flight, from takeoff to landing, was successful and within standard operating parameters.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 98.9%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process to better understand the areas where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a high level of precision in maintaining the correct descent angle towards the runway. Your threshold speed of 136 knots was slightly below the target, but still within an acceptable range. This shows good control over your airspeed during the approach, which is crucial for a smooth landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that you descended to the runway at the correct altitude. Additionally, your landing flare was very good, suggesting a skillful adjustment of pitch angle just before touchdown to ensure a smooth landing. These elements are essential for a safe and comfortable touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute was good, indicating a fairly gentle touchdown. Your touchdown speed of 133 knots was also commendable, showing good control over airspeed at this critical moment. However, the touchdown point being 129 meters beyond the touchdown zone is an area that can be improved upon. Ensuring touchdown within the designated zone is important for safety and efficiency.
Lastly, in terms of runway touchdown alignment, you performed very well, indicating good alignment with the runway centerline during touchdown. Maintaining proper alignment is crucial for a safe landing and efficient rollout.
Overall, your landing performance was impressive, with strong points in glideslope alignment, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown rate, speed, and runway alignment. While there are areas for improvement, such as landing within the designated zone, your overall score of 98.9% reflects a high level of proficiency in aircraft landing. Keep up the excellent work and continue to strive for perfection in all phases of the landing process. Great job!
