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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 started with a 13-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EHAM Schiphol. The departure roll on runway 36L covered 1,099 meters, which was 31% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, with local weather conditions showing a temperature of 17°C and a 1 knot wind coming from 350°, resulting in a minimal crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb began 1 mile east of Vijfhuizen in the Netherlands, ascending from 1,016 feet above sea level to 36,993 feet, a total increase of 35,977 feet over 24 minutes and covering 159 nautical miles. The aircraft then levelled off for a 30-minute cruise 122 miles northwest of Borkum, Germany, covering 231 nautical miles.
The descent phase commenced 20 miles southwest of Skudeneshavn in Norway, descending from 36,930 feet to 4,020 feet, a decrease of 32,910 feet over 18 minutes and covering 105 nautical miles. Following a brief 2-minute cruise over Manger, Norway, the aircraft descended again 3 miles west of Frekhaug, going from 4,030 feet to 1,806 feet in 4 minutes over 9 nautical miles.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 17 at ENBR Flesland, with the aircraft touching down 477 meters from the threshold at a speed of 135 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -346 feet per minute. The total landing distance covered was 1,555 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. After landing, a 3-minute taxi brought the aircraft to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance for this journey was 521 nautical miles, lasting 116 minutes and consuming 4,397 kilograms of fuel.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 94.8%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see what went well and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's great to see that there was excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates that the aircraft was on the correct descent path towards the runway, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and landing flare are positive indicators. These aspects contribute to a stable approach and set the aircraft up for a successful touchdown. However, it's important to make sure the touchdown point is within the designated touchdown zone to ensure optimal safety and operational efficiency.
In the Touchdown Phase, the hard touchdown rate can be a point for improvement. A smooth and controlled touchdown helps to reduce wear and tear on the aircraft tires and brakes, as well as provide a more comfortable experience for passengers. Additionally, ensuring the touchdown point is within the designated zone and aligning with the runway centreline are essential for safe and efficient landings.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the slight deviation from the runway centreline is something to take note of. Maintaining runway alignment is crucial for taxiing and ensuring safe operations on the ground.
Overall, this landing demonstrated a strong performance with several key aspects to be proud of. By focusing on refining the touchdown rate, ensuring alignment with the designated touchdown zone and runway centreline, and attentiveness to threshold height and flare, you can continue to improve and achieve even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in your landings!
