Monitor your taxi speed
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 8,386 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 8,386 ft of the 10,929 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,151 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 34L at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 8,140 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 48°F and winds of 8 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from KDEN, the enroute climb began 2 miles north of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 6,375 feet above sea level to 34,173 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,798 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 14 miles northeast of Laramie, Wyoming, and lasted for 120 minutes, covering a distance of 724 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles southeast of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, descending from 33,466 feet above sea level to 4,144 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,322 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at CYEG Edmonton International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 35.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,772 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 63 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 02, with a runway length of 10,929 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,149 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°F and winds of 2 knots at 50°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 8,138 feet, accounting for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 906 nautical miles, taking 178 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,713 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 landed at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG) on runway 02. The aircraft demonstrated good approach and touchdown characteristics, with a final approach path from the south west at a heading of 35.0° and at an altitude of 1,772 feet above ground level (agl). The distance from the aircraft to the runway threshold was approximately 3 nautical miles.
During the final approach, the pilots maintained a stable flight path until touchdown. The threshold height at 71 feet agl was reported to be higher than the target, potentially affecting the overall landing performance. Conversely, the threshold speed was noted to be within an acceptable range.
On touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good stopping qualities, with a touchdown distance of 1,149 feet recorded. This represents a safe distance within the available runway length of 10,929 feet. However, the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly higher than expected, indicating a firm touchdown rate. The touchdown rate was measured at -360 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled but firm touch down.
In terms of wind conditions, the local weather reported a temperature of 17°F and wind speeds of 2 kt at 50°. This resulted in a very minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. As a result, the runway touchdown alignment was described as very good.
The rollout after touchdown was characterized as perfect, indicating the pilots maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the centerline of the runway. Notably, the total landing distance of 8,138 feet represented 74% of the available runway length. This indicates a safe margin for any post-landing deceleration, further enhancing the overall landing performance.
