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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,646 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,646 m of the 2,425 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 25 at Abbotsford International Airport (CYXX) in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. The takeoff distance was 626 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind of 4 knots at 239°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead CYXX, where the aircraft ascended from 1,362 feet above sea level to 9,272 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,910 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead Langley Airport (CYNJ) in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles north of West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and descended from 8,589 feet above sea level to 3,525 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,064 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles north of Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its climb 4 miles north of Squamish Airport (CYSE) in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, and climbed from 3,526 feet above sea level to 13,301 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,775 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles southwest of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 14 miles north of Lytton Airport (CYLY) in Lytton, British Columbia, Canada, and descended from 12,970 feet above sea level to 3,735 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,235 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles west of Kamloops John Moose Fulton Field Regional Airport (CYKA) in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles northeast of CYKA and descended from 3,948 feet above sea level to 1,964 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,984 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at CYKA was made from the east, heading 285.0° at 2 nautical miles and 807 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 100 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,552 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 194 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used
The aircraft, identified as an RJ85, successfully landed at Kamloops John E. Fulton Regional Airport (CYKA) with a score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 285.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 807 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,425 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 109 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight.
The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 100 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C. The total landing distance of 1,552 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored a perfect 100.0%. The pilots demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach and landing phases, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
