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 1,854 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,854 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at CYWG Winnipeg Intl. The departure roll on runway 31 covered a distance of 1,354 meters, which was 51% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 4°C with a wind of 13 knots coming from 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The enroute climb commenced overhead CYWG Winnipeg Intl, where the aircraft climbed from 1,816 feet above sea level to 32,728 feet, covering a vertical distance of 30,911 feet in 14 minutes and a horizontal distance of 119 nautical miles. The level cruise phase started 8 miles south of CJY5 Strathclair Strathclair and lasted 21 minutes, covering 435 nautical miles.
The descent phase began 7 miles east of Hanna. The aircraft descended from 32,985 feet to 5,255 feet, a vertical drop of 27,730 feet over 16 minutes and 93 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 35R at CYYC Calgary Intl, with a runway length of 4,265 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 53 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 155 knots. The touchdown occurred 443 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 152 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -419 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was -0°C with a 4-knot wind coming from 250°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 1-knot tailwind. The total landing distance covered was 1,788 meters, which was 42% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance for the journey was 658 nautical miles, which took a total of 69 minutes and consumed 5,692 kilograms of fuel.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 95.3%! This is a fantastic accomplishment and highlights your skills as a pilot. Let's break down the different phases of the landing for a more detailed analysis.
During the Approach Phase, it is great to see that you had good glideslope alignment. This is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. While the speed was slightly above target, this is a relatively minor issue that can be easily adjusted in future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that you had good threshold height and a good landing flare. These factors contribute significantly to a safe and accurate touchdown on the runway. Your attention to detail in these aspects is commendable and reflects your professionalism as a pilot.
In the Touchdown Phase, there are a few areas that could be improved upon. The touchdown rate being very hard suggests that adjustments can be made to ensure a smoother landing in the future. Additionally, having the speed a little above target may have contributed to this issue. It is important to strive for a softer touchdown to enhance passenger comfort and ensure the longevity of the aircraft.
Despite these minor shortcomings, it is positive to note that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone. This demonstrates your ability to accurately place the aircraft on the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 5.8 m from the centerline indicates a good level of precision in aiming for the desired touchdown point.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, having runway alignment 6.8 m from the centerline is an area that could be improved upon. Maintaining a more centralized position on the runway during rollout is important for overall runway safety and efficiency.
Overall, your landing performance is impressive with room for minor refinements in specific areas. By addressing the issues identified in the Touchdown and Rollout Phases, you are sure to further enhance your skills as a pilot and continue to achieve excellent landing scores in the future. Keep up the great work and keep striving for excellence in all aspects of your flying. Well done!
