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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 22R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,115-meter stretch of the 3,000-meter runway, which accounted for 37% of its length. At a liftoff speed of 162 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off into the air, with a local temperature of 13°C and a gentle headwind of 8 knots at 230 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, rising from 1,023 feet above sea level to 33,008 feet in a mere 19 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its enroute cruise altitude 3 miles east of Thelkow, Germany. The subsequent 16-minute cruise phase covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent 2 miles north of Reinsdorf Airfield, Germany. The descent phase, which lasted 14 minutes, saw the aircraft drop from 32,988 feet to 1,975 feet, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, EDDC Dresden Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 22 from the northeast, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 221.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,239 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the 2,542-meter runway at a speed of 134 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 402 meters. The aircraft's total landing distance was 1,077 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 345 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of -3,571 kilograms and a flight duration of 59 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 402 meters, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a rate of descent of -182 feet per minute, both of which were within the desired parameters.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 247°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,077 meters, which accounted for only 42% of the runway's length.
Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect centerline alignment during the rollout phase, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The overall performance of the landing was outstanding, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision displayed by the crew. The landing was a testament to the crew's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities and the favorable weather conditions.
