Slow down before tight turns
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 1,782 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,782 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 12 at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG). The takeoff distance was 1,866 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Leduc, Alberta, Canada. The climb took 14 minutes and covered 149 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 3,432 feet above sea level to 37,355 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,923 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south-east of Neilburg Airport (CJV2) in Saskatchewan, Canada. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered 362 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 15 miles north-west of Rivers, Manitoba, Canada. The descent took 15 minutes and covered 130 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,482 feet above sea level to 2,037 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,446 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, with a heading of 6.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which has a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -338 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 309°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,709 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 2 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 3,542 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 36. The final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 6.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 151 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 309°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,709 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, and the aircraft responded well to the controls. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable taxiing process. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with a score of 98.4%.
