Monitor your taxi speed
See Arrival 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 21 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport. The takeoff distance was 969 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, near the town of Rheinmünster in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The climb started from an altitude of 1,410 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 6,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,578 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Herrlisheim in Grand Est, France. The descent started from an altitude of 6,842 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 3,888 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,954 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, starting 2 miles north of Seltz in Grand Est, France.
The aircraft's next descent phase began overhead Au am Rhein in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent started from an altitude of 3,758 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 1,707 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,050 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 212.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with a touchdown point located 198 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was also good at -178 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.1 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 44 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,093 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the satisfactory threshold height and speed of 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 198 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. The total landing distance of 1,530 meters was 62% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.1 meters, which is a minor deviation. Overall, the landing was executed with good control, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and rollout alignment.
