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 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 308 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,635 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Vijfhuizen in the Netherlands. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,020 feet above sea level to 35,630 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,610 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Bever in Belgium. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 251 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting overhead La Chapelle-Craonnaise in France. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 35,493 feet above sea level to 36,035 feet above sea level, an increase of 542 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Senonnes in France. This phase lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 500 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of Corticada in Portugal. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,021 feet above sea level to 1,647 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,375 feet.
The final approach to runway 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 3,123 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 310 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -444 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,014 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 181 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,851 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) with a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 20, which has a length of 3,123 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 kt, coming in at 147 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The touchdown distance was reported as good, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 310 meters from the threshold. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 kt, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -444 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is experiencing a high rate of descent, which can put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft systems.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with the aircraft deviating by 3.8 meters. This minor deviation from the centreline may have been due to the crosswind component of 7 kt, which was blowing from the west. The headwind component of 23 kt was blowing from the west as well, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 24 kt blowing from 220°. The crosswind component was relatively minor, while the headwind component was significant, contributing to the aircraft's ground speed.
The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown rate, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
