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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 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 to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 26R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 773 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 235 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile south west of Le Mesnil-Amelot, France, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,301 feet above sea level to 29,750 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,449 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles west of Berck-sur-Mer Airfield (LFAM) in France and lasted 7 minutes, covering 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Flimwell in England, descending from 29,998 feet above sea level to 2,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,992 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile south east of Kenilworth in England and lasted 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at Birmingham International Airport (EGBB) was made from the south east, heading 326.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 225 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 890 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 276 nautical miles, taking 50 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,802 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 98.2%. The final approach to runway 33 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 326.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 128 kt. The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 116 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
The touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift or crosswind effect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 kt from a direction of 225°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations from the intended landing path.
The total landing distance of 890 meters was 38% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase and did not experience any significant drift or oscillation.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.2%. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing path, which may be attributed to the weather conditions and the aircraft's performance.
