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 3,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 01L at KTPA Tampa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,710 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 350 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tampa International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,048 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 34,377 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,329 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 156 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles west of Fargo, Georgia, and lasted for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 885 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 3 miles west of Marble Rock, Iowa, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,362 feet above sea level to 2,099 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,263 feet. The descent covered a distance of 112 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 30L was successful, with a touchdown point 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 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 -16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 300 degrees.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,162 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,213 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 30L, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 143 knots. The touchdown point was 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 300°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway length of 3,040 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,420 meters, which accounted for only 47% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway during the landing. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.4%.
