Improve the taxi
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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,936 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 152 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,005 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Winford in North Somerset, England. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,640 feet above sea level to 6,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,370 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Paulton in Bath and North East Somerset, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting overhead Watchet in Somerset, England. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,010 feet above sea level to 32,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,981 feet.
The enroute level cruise then started 27 miles south of Salcombe in Devon, England, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 356 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 45 miles north of Cervo in Galicia, Spain. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,006 feet above sea level to 4,538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,468 feet.
The enroute level cruise then started 3 miles west of Ordes in Galicia, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 2 miles west of Ordes in Galicia, Spain. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,021 feet above sea level to 2,462 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,559 feet.
The final approach to runway 17 at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 166.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,936 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 153 meters, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -560 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 153 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 122 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -560 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.2 meters, which may have been due to a minor issue with the aircraft's braking system or a slight deviation in the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
