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.

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 1,743 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,743 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the Idroscalo Milan, a notable landmark in the Lombardia region of Italy. The enroute climb was a steep one, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 424 meters to 10,102 meters in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 10,067 meters to 484 meters, a decrease of 9,582.8 meters in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 85 degrees at an altitude of 373.5 meters above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 08R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 136 knots and a distance of 412 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.7 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a moderate headwind of 7 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 358 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,386 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at an altitude of 373.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown distance of 412 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -1.7 meters per second. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was also 7 knots, resulting in a net headwind effect. The total landing distance of 1,657 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through the successful execution of the landing.
