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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,137 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 49°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from Frankfurt Airport, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 1,514 feet above sea level to 21,726 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,212 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Wartmannsroth, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles north of Wachenroth, Bavaria, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 21,321 feet above sea level to 2,333 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,988 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) was made from the west, with a heading of 99.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 329°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,376 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 119 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,685 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 329°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance of 1,376 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
