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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,938 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,938 m of the 2,910 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 709 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 13 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG), with a takeoff distance of 1,507 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from Málaga, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of the airport and climbing from 1,069 feet above sea level to 34,682 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,613 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 7 miles north east of Caniles, Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south west of Pliego, Region de Murcia, Spain, and descending from 34,658 feet above sea level to 5,473 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,186 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started overhead Gestalgar, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south east of Bugarra, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, and descending from 4,916 feet above sea level to 1,534 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,383 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at Valencia Airport (LEVC) was made from the west, heading 116.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,315 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 21°C temperature and winds of 3 knots at 105°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,855 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 2,320 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LEVC Valencia Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 143 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe distance. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also deemed good, and the touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 105°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,855 meters was 64% 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 aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase, and came to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The slight overrun beyond the touchdown zone was the only minor deviation from perfection, but it did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
