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 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 30 at the Edmonton International Airport (CYEG) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,408 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 320°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 3,337 feet above sea level to 38,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,772 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 21 miles west of the Lake Louise Airport (CYLE) in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 202 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles southeast of Merritt, British Columbia, Canada, and descended from 38,249 feet above sea level to 3,440 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,809 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 7 miles northeast of the Silva Bay Airport (CSYF) in British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 9 miles west of the Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and descended from 2,918 feet above sea level to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,631 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at CYVR was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 275 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -309 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,156 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 467 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 3,072 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08R. The final approach was executed from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 99.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 149 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 275 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -309 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed, the aircraft's landing performance was overall impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, also contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,156 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process, and that the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled touchdown. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at Vancouver International Airport, with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a smooth and controlled touchdown, and a perfect runway touchdown and rollout alignment.
