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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,929 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,441 ft 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,727 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 68°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 180°. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and rising from an altitude of 956 feet above sea level to 25,718 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,762 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Centerville, Texas. This cruise phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 2 miles east of Richardson, Texas, and rising from 26,074 feet to 35,996 feet, an increase of 9,922 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of 1OK9 Hankins Airport in Marietta, Oklahoma. This cruise phase lasted for 116 minutes and covered a distance of 1,270 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 13 miles northeast of CER2 Castor Airport in Castor, Alberta, Canada. The descent from 35,374 feet to 3,660 feet took 19 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at CYEG Edmonton International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 215.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,437 feet, which was 38% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32°F, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 179°. There was a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,192 feet, and the total flight distance was 1,631 nautical miles, taking a total of 193 minutes. The aircraft used 25,325 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG) on runway 20, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 135 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,437 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 179°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 4,192 feet was 38% 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's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 at CYEG was satisfactory, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
