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: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,453 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Marseille Provence Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31L, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 3,525 feet was achieved with 46% of the runway remaining, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from Marseille, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 943 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,002 feet, an increase of 36,059 feet. Following a level cruise of 89 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 675 nautical miles, the crew initiated the enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Zatreni, Romania. The descent from 37,002 feet to 1,412 feet took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 144 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 26L, aligning itself with the runway from the east. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 462 feet and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The aircraft touched down firmly at a rate of -307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a short taxi to the parking area, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 972 nautical miles in 157 minutes, using 13,900 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 26L at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft's approach to the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,089 ft above ground level, set the stage for a smooth landing. The good threshold height and threshold speed of 134 kt indicated a well-executed approach, with the aircraft maintaining control and stability throughout.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it performed as expected, with a touchdown distance of 462 ft and a touchdown speed of 132 kt. The firm touchdown rate of -307 fpm was consistent with the aircraft's weight and configuration, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high level of pilot skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 48 °F and a light wind of 3 kt at 310°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the centreline. The total landing distance of 4,233 ft, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was a testament to the crew's expertise and the aircraft's performance capabilities, with a high score reflecting the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
