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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 404 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 32 at ENAN Andøya Airport, Andenes, Norway. The takeoff distance was 839 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Andenes, with the aircraft ascending from 1,084 feet above sea level to 37,612 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,528 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 222 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles west of Mosjoen, Norway, and lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 907 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 15 miles east of Walton-on-the-Naze, England, and descended from 37,304 feet above sea level to 3,041 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,262 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles south of Woodford Green, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead the City of Westminster, England, and descended from 2,970 feet above sea level to 1,362 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,608 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 406 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 788 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,211 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 160 minutes. The aircraft used 7,841 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
The touchdown distance of 406 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft's descent and landing were well-managed. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach.
Despite the slightly higher touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 788 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the aircraft's landing performance was good, and that the pilots were able to manage the descent and touchdown with precision. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft demonstrated excellent landing performance and control during this landing at EGLL London Heathrow Airport. The high score of 99.2% reflects the pilots' skill and expertise in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown, as well as the favorable weather conditions at the time of the landing.
