Improve the taxi
See Arrival 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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 157 kt with 7.4° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 187 kt, 8 kt over its 179 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 919 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 4,103 ft of runway left; gear up at 25 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,600 fpm on average to 919 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 10,002 ft runway.
Rolled from 102 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 13 ft at the widest, and lifted off 8 ft right. Airborne 42 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 50 ft under).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 15× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 80 ft off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
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.
