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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft 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 2,572 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, CYWG, after a 7-minute taxiing period that covered 2 nautical miles. The takeoff distance was 879 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots, with a local temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 28 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYWG, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,306 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The climb started from an initial altitude of 1,827 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 32,479 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 143 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles southeast of Greenbush, Minnesota, United States.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 34,144 feet above sea level and descending to 2,126 feet above sea level in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead the Pelican Lake Seaplane Base, 2MN5, in Orr, Minnesota, United States.
The final approach to runway 22 at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, KMSP, was made from the northeast, with a heading of 224.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 336 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was fast.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,163 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 348 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,605 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the northeast, heading 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was significantly above the target, reaching 140 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute, which was considered fair. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking or used a more gradual descent to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,163 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to stop the aircraft within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing, with a score of 95.3%. While there were some minor deviations in the touchdown speed and rollout alignment, the pilot effectively managed the aircraft and achieved a safe and controlled landing.
