Improve the taxi
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,537 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08R at Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP). The takeoff distance was 1,450 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 80°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Leipzig/Halle Airport Schkeuditz. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,486 feet above sea level to 32,261 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,775 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles south of Schonermark, Germany, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 344 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 26 miles east of Loftahammar, Sweden, and took 27 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 32,150 feet above sea level to 1,404 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,746 feet. The descent covered a distance of 134 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19R at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ESSA) was made from the north, heading 190.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 364 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 140°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 597 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 4,042 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport on runway 19R, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach speed and configuration were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 141 knots being achieved. This indicates that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and were able to adjust their approach speed accordingly. The touchdown distance of 364 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was within the normal range. This suggests that the pilots had a good feel for the aircraft's rate of descent and were able to control it effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained a steady and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,454 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and were able to control its descent and landing effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained a steady and consistent rollout path.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, demonstrating the pilots' exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
