Improve the taxi
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,842 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 742 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at Shannon Airport (EINN) in a duration of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 kt and became airborne after traveling 4,251 ft, which represented 43 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 77 °F with a wind of 9 kt from 280°, including a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced overhead Shannon, rising from 1,017 ft asl to 34,996 ft asl - an altitude gain of 33,980 ft - over 24 minutes while covering 162 nm.
Cruise flight began 70 nm west of Tresco Heliport (EGHT) and continued for 154 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,213 nm at level altitude.
Descent operations started 71 nm north-east of Caleta de Sebo, with the aircraft descending from 35,000 ft asl to 1,997 ft asl, a loss of 33,002 ft, in 20 minutes while covering 109 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 8 nm south of Puerto del Carmen, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing a distance of 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 03 at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (GCRR) was flown from the south-west on a heading of 27.0° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft agl, followed by a descent from 1,319 ft agl to 12 ft agl in 97 seconds, during which the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 03, whose length is 7,842 ft. The threshold speed was recorded at 133 kt, touchdown occurred 745 ft down the runway at a speed of 129 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 231 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was described as very good. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 73 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 280°, comprising an 8 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 3,192 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,501 nm, required 213 minutes of flight time, and consumed 20,662 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 established a final approach to runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport from the south-west, tracking a heading of 27.0° at 4 NM and 1,262 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,319 ft agl to 12 ft agl in 97 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 133 kt. The aircraft touched down 745 ft from the threshold at a speed of 129 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 231 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned very well to the centreline, maintaining the good speed and distance parameters noted at threshold, and the rate of descent remained within the fair range recorded.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 3,192 ft, representing 41 % of the 7,842 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 73 °F with wind 8 kt from 280°, including an 8 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.
To improve the overall score, focus on reducing the touchdown rate by refining flare timing to achieve a gentler descent, while preserving the already strong speed control and alignment performance.
