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.

Side view — the last 5,377 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,377 ft of the 11,780 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 981 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM). The takeoff distance was 4,222 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 181°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 2,446 feet above sea level to 39,936 feet above sea level. This climb of 37,491 feet took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Alpirsbach in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 303 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of Lamotte-Buleux in Hauts-de-France, France, where the aircraft started its descent from 39,997 feet above sea level to 1,441 feet above sea level. This descent of 38,556 feet took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,352 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27R, which had a length of 11,780 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 990 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 180°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,131 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 580 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 8,779 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,352 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, registering at 143 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 990 feet was considered good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 5 kt from 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 5 kt and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance of 5,131 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
