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 2,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 flight began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at CYYC Calgary Intl. The departure roll from runway 35R covered 1,599 meters (38% of the runway) before reaching a liftoff speed of 156 knots. The local weather at takeoff included a temperature of 9°C and wind of 14 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of CYYC Calgary Intl, climbing from 4,580 ft asl to 33,969 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 160 nm. The enroute level cruise commenced 7 miles west of CJD5 Leader, lasting 11 minutes and covering 329 nm. The enroute descent started 12 miles north of CJZ5 West Virden, descending from 33,845 ft asl to 2,584 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 156 nm.
The landing on runway 31 at CYWG Winnipeg Intl had a runway length of 2,652 meters. The height at threshold was 31 ft agl with a speed of 150 knots. The touchdown occurred 307 meters from the threshold with a speed of 145 knots and a VSI of -464 ft/m. The weather at landing included a temperature of 8°C and wind of 5 knots at 309°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,351 meters, which was 51% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 656 nm, lasting 63 minutes and consuming 3,863 kg of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 96.8%! This is an impressive result that shows excellent overall performance throughout the landing phases.
Let's break down the analysis starting with the Approach Phase. It's great to see that there was excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. The slightly above target speed indicates a need for minor adjustments, but overall, it seems that the approach was well-executed.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's positive to note that there was a good threshold height and landing flare. These elements are key in ensuring a safe and stable touchdown. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as the very hard touchdown rate and the speed being slightly above target. These factors could potentially result in discomfort for passengers and additional stress on the aircraft.
Looking at the Touchdown Phase, the fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone is a good sign. However, the hard touchdown rate and the speed being above target are areas that need attention to ensure smoother landings in the future. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 4.1 m from the centerline can be improved upon for better runway alignment.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 4.2 m from the centerline shows room for improvement in maintaining a more centered path along the runway. This is important for safe taxiing and efficient traffic management on the ground.
In conclusion, while there were many positive aspects to the landing performance, there are also areas that can be further refined to enhance the overall quality of landings in the future. By addressing the hard touchdown rate, adjusting speed to target levels, and improving runway alignment, you can continue to strive for even higher landing scores and ensure a consistently smooth and safe landing experience for all passengers and crew. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on honing your skills to achieve even greater success in your future flights.
