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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG), with a takeoff distance of 1,204 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a 4-knot headwind at 300°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport and continued for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,079 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,886 feet, an increase of 34,807 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of San Carlos del Valle in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. This phase lasted for 146 minutes and covered a distance of 779 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of Bodelshausen in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent from 36,168 feet to 5,493 feet took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Waldalgesheim in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Mainz in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent from 3,790 feet to 1,652 feet took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 443 meters and a touchdown speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -161 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 30°. The total landing distance was 1,403 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,058 nautical miles and took 182 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7,378 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 99.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and descended smoothly onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent performance, with a threshold speed of 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 443 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting a smooth and gentle touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a high degree of pilot skill and control.
The total landing distance of 1,403 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a precise and controlled approach, taking into account the wind conditions and the aircraft's performance characteristics.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained excellent alignment with the runway, indicating a high degree of control and stability. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent performance and the pilots executing a precise and controlled approach.
