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 1,727 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,727 m of the 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,410 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,831 feet above sea level to 33,227 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,396 feet in just 15 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 171 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 1,035 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 3 miles south of Naytahwaush, Minnesota, United States. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 33,779 feet above sea level to 37,232 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,453 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 35 nautical miles and took place 1 mile west of LS76 Hickham Field Covington, Louisiana, United States.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 428 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 2 miles west of Estelle, Louisiana, United States. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent phase, which started 79 miles north of Rio Lagartos, Estado de Yucatan, Mexico. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,135 feet above sea level to 3,193 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,941 feet in just 15 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 14 miles north of Leona Vicario, Estado de Quintana Roo, Mexico. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 11 miles west of Cancun, Estado de Quintana Roo, Mexico. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,983 feet above sea level to 1,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,697 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12L at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancun was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 123.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 157 knots and a touchdown distance of 400 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -280 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 12L was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 123.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 400 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 157 knots was slightly faster than expected, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively decelerating upon touchdown.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to a relatively smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,654 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment that may be addressed in future training or operations.
