Monitor your taxi speed
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,911 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 469 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
The aircraft departed runway 01 at GCFV Fuerteventura Airport, accelerating for a take-off roll of 722 m which represented 30 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 040°, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind component.
Climb commenced overhead GCFV Fuerteventura Airport El Matorral, rising from 1,004 ft asl to 33,437 ft asl - an increase of 32,433 ft - over 23 minutes while covering 158 nm.
The first cruise segment began at latitude 31.029372, longitude -13.2457736 and continued for 60 minutes, during which 469 nm were flown at level altitude.
A subsequent climb started 36 miles south-west of Cascais, Portugal, gaining 1,282 ft from 34,376 ft asl to 35,658 ft asl in 2 minutes and traversing 13 nm.
The next cruise leg originated 27 miles west of Cascais and lasted 100 minutes, covering 763 nm at a steady cruise altitude.
Descent began 5 miles north of Querqueville, France, descending from 36,022 ft asl to 3,120 ft asl - a loss of 32,902 ft - in 19 minutes while traveling 115 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Southwater, West Sussex, England, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 12 nm.
The second descent segment started 1 mile east of Alfold Crossways, Surrey, England, dropping from 3,013 ft asl to 1,509 ft asl - a decrease of 1,504 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 77.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 08R, which is 2,919 m long. The threshold speed was recorded as good at 138 kt. Touchdown occurred 62 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 294 fpm. The aircraft was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 18 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 090°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,186 m, representing 41 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,546 nm, required 221 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,440 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 08R at EGKK was flown from the west on a heading of 77.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 62 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, which the data described as a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at minus 294 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,186 m, representing 41 % of the 2,919 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current high standard while targeting a marginally lower touchdown speed to bring the rate closer to the optimum and to tighten centreline alignment, which will further reduce the already excellent landing distance margin.
