Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 1,934 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead College Park, Georgia, and ascending from an altitude of 2,033 feet above sea level to 36,053 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,020 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Startex, South Carolina, and lasting for 15 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 361 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile east of Hillsmere Shores, Maryland, and the aircraft descended from 35,070 feet above sea level to 9,715 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,355 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of PS68 Buckingham Airport Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile south of Hopewell, New Jersey, and the aircraft descended from 9,163 feet above sea level to 1,288 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,875 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) was made from the southwest, heading 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,142 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 316 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots coming from a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 655 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,885 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot preference. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 316 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 139 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum and the pilot's decision to touch down at that speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant shock or oscillation.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a headwind of 12 kt at 30°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, which made the landing even more challenging.
The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown, without any significant overrun. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated runway area. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging weather conditions and execute a smooth and controlled landing.
