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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,689 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 883 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Stansted Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 3,557 feet, which was 40% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Stansted Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,577 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 37,774 feet over the English countryside. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for a significant portion of the flight, covering 325 nautical miles in 44 minutes. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 38,001 feet to 1,752 feet in 30 minutes, covering 158 nautical miles. The final approach to Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 269.0°, and the aircraft landed on runway 27 with a touchdown distance of 891 feet, slightly above the target threshold speed of 140 knots.
The landing was followed by a smooth taxiing process to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 616 nautical miles, taking 106 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,705 pounds of fuel. The local weather conditions at Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport were similar to those at London Stansted Airport, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. The overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with good runway touchdown alignment and a very good runway rollout alignment.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 27 at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 kt, but the aircraft's performance remained within acceptable limits. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 891 ft, indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft's deceleration was sufficient to prevent any loss of control. The touchdown rate of -263 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate impact on the landing gear. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 3,983 ft was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. Runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 99.4% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilots.
