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.

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 3,201 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 13 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL) in Manila, Philippines. The takeoff distance was 687 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 149°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 6,204 feet above sea level. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,037 feet and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles in 7 minutes, resulting in an increase of 5,166 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles southwest of Navotas, a city in the National Capital Region of the Philippines, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Mabalacat City, a city in Central Luzon, Philippines, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,742 feet to 2,515 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent was followed by another enroute level cruise, which began 2 miles east of Concepcion, a city in Central Luzon, Philippines, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Clark International Airport (RPLC) / Clark Air Base was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 201.0° at an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 3,201 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 359°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 350 meters, and the touchdown speed was 36 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.9 meters. The total landing distance was 599 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.1 meters.
In conclusion, the flight was completed in 53 minutes, covering a total distance of 76 nautical miles and using 15 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and descent, with a good landing performance. However, there were some minor deviations from the centreline during the landing and rollout phases.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at RPLC Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the threshold speed of 46 knots, which was well below the target speed to avoid stalling.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 350 meters and a touchdown speed of 36 knots. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -141 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating by 10.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 359°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 599 meters, which accounted for only 19% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 11.1 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the pilot's overall performance was commendable, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
