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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 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 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,014 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Paradise, Nevada, and continued to an altitude of 34,969 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 123 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 24 miles northeast of L50 Tuweep Tuweep, Arizona. This cruise phase lasted for 163 minutes and covered a distance of 1,454 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles southeast of Petrolia, Ontario, Canada. This descent phase took 21 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,162 feet to 3,494 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. This cruise phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 226.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,502 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown point 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,728 nautical miles, which was covered in 236 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,228 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 226.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,502 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of -13°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. Despite these favorable conditions, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's braking system.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, but could have benefited from a slightly smoother touchdown and better alignment with the runway centerline.
