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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,320 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,320 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,080 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 5,321 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Las Vegas, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,232 feet above sea level to 32,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,464 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles south of Centennial Park in Arizona and lasted for 34 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 274 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Edenway Airport in Pueblo, Colorado. The descent took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 161 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,251 feet above sea level to 6,657 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,594 feet. The final approach to runway 35R at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 1.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35R was successful, with a touchdown point 751 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 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 81 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind of 2 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 7,091 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 554 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used 10,590 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Denver International Airport's runway 35R with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course as it descended towards the runway, ultimately touching down on the runway surface.
The touchdown point was located 751 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a bit faster than the recommended threshold speed of 148 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft's engines and flight control systems were functioning properly, allowing for a controlled and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's approach and landing. The runway length of 12,040 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 7,091 feet was 59% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient space to decelerate and come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course as it taxied down the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
