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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,704 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 121 m touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 32L at SKBO El Dorado International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,911 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend 2 miles east of Funza, in the Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia. The climb was from an initial altitude of 9,411 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 31,184 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,773 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile southwest of Jesus Maria, in the Departamento de Santander, Colombia, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 208 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles west of SK36 Chimichagua Airport, in the Departamento del Cesar, Colombia, and descended from an altitude of 31,018 feet above sea level to 1,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,744 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at SKSM Simón Bolívar International Airport was from the south, heading 358.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01 at SKSM Simón Bolívar International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 122 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -399 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 36°.
The total landing distance was 702 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,686 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SKSM Simón Bolívar International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 01 from the south was executed at a heading of 358.0°, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent, ultimately resulting in a smooth touchdown.
The landing itself was characterized by a threshold speed that was slightly below the target of 130 knots, which is a testament to the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent. The touchdown distance of 122 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rate of descent. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The touchdown rate of -399 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively so, indicating that the pilots had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively without compromising its stability. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and controlled landing. This suggests that the pilots had maintained a high level of situational awareness and had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 36°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which the pilots successfully managed to account for during the landing. The total landing distance of 702 meters, which is 41% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and rollout.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and controlled landing. This suggests that the pilots had maintained a high level of situational awareness and had successfully controlled the aircraft's rollout, ensuring a safe and controlled stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and precision in controlling the aircraft's descent and rollout.
