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 1,745 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the analysis of this aircraft landing reveals a combination of both positive and negative aspects.
In the Approach Phase, the descent path was below the glideslope limit, indicating that the aircraft was descending too steeply during the approach. However, the heading alignment and speed were on target, suggesting good situational awareness and control during this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height was slightly too low, possibly indicating a premature descent towards the runway. The landing flare was very poor, suggesting that the pilot may have failed to execute a smooth transition from descent to landing.
During the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was firm, indicating a harder landing than desired. However, the speed was on target and the aircraft touched down within the touchdown zone, with a deviation of 1.8 meters from the runway centerline. It is worth noting that the aircraft landed with an 11 knot tailwind, which is a critical safety concern and increases the risk of a runway excursion.
In the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain the aircraft on the centerline during the taxiing phase after landing.
Overall, this aircraft landing had several areas of concern, including a steep descent path, poor landing flare, and a firm touchdown rate. The presence of a tailwind during landing further adds to the safety risk. Training and proficiency in these areas could help improve future landings and ensure a safer and smoother flight experience.
