Slow down before tight turns
See Departure 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,365 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,676 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 30 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,707 feet above sea level to 32,498 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,791 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Paradise, Nevada, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 14 miles northeast of L50 Tuweep Tuweep, Arizona, and lasted for 200 minutes, covering a distance of 1,476 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 8 miles southwest of CPK2 Strathroy, Ontario, Canada, and descended from 32,928 feet above sea level to 3,276 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,652 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb from 3,290 feet above sea level to 4,281 feet above sea level, an increase of 991 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, which started 2 miles east of Milton, Ontario, Canada.
The aircraft then began another descent from 4,265 feet above sea level to 3,011 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,254 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, which started 3 miles west of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile southeast of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport began from the southeast, heading 317.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,454 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 359 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above target at 141 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 349 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,123 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,720 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 268 minutes. The aircraft used 11,559 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,454 feet above ground level (agl).
During the final approach, the aircraft's altitude was slightly above the target threshold height of 69 feet agl. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was only slightly above the target, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 359 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind of 9 knots and headwind of 14 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -3°C and wind at 16 knots from 349°, may have also played a role in the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,123 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 93.6%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations to further improve the aircraft's performance.
