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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 503 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft taking off after covering 60% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,121 meters, and the liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a 6-knot wind blowing at 140 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. The enroute climb began overhead Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,069 feet above sea level to 31,186 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile northeast of Staffhorst, Germany, and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 39 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Melle, Germany, and took 25 minutes to descend from 31,182 feet to 1,349 feet, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 215.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 2,512 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was 122 knots, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, both of which were considered good.
The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at Eindhoven Airport were similar to those at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, with a temperature of 8°C and a 10-knot wind blowing at 180 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 1,892 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Eindhoven Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 108 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -118 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating 7.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, deviating 8.2 meters from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and runway rollout alignment, which may require attention to improve the overall performance of the aircraft.
