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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,401 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 164 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south west of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,797 feet above sea level to 18,162 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Zanica in Lombardia, Italy. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north east of Ettal in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 18,010 feet to 13,103 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Seeshaupt in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Starnberg in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 13,107 feet to 2,755 feet.
The final approach to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08L, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 361 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 136 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,004 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is always room for improvement, and the pilot may want to focus on achieving a smoother touchdown speed and flare to further enhance the safety and efficiency of the landing.
