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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Eindhoven Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,065 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 16 knots at 200°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Eindhoven Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,076 feet above sea level to 11,862 feet, an increase of 10,786 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of Bavel, a town in the province of North Brabant, the Netherlands.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south of Huijbergen, another town in the province of North Brabant, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 11,744 feet above sea level to 1,444 feet, a decrease of 10,300 feet. The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250° at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25L at Brussels Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 434 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 14 knots at 210°, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 77 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used 1,297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 127 kt, which is a common occurrence due to various factors such as wind resistance and aircraft performance. The touchdown distance of 434 meters was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 122 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum and the wind conditions. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 14 kt from 210°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt. These wind conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing, but the pilots successfully managed to compensate for them.
The total landing distance of 942 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land efficiently and safely, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating that the aircraft was under control and stable during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was a success, with a score of 99.9%. The pilots demonstrated good control and precision during the final approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, despite the moderate wind conditions.
