Improve the 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.
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 1,603 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,603 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at Mohammed V International Airport, GMMN. The takeoff distance was 1,149 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 293°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Zawyat an Nwacer, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,662 feet above sea level to 34,083 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,421 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 19 miles west of Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport, GMTT, and lasted for 48 minutes, covering a distance of 390 nautical miles. The descent began 35 miles northeast of Denia, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 33,951 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,653 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport, LEPA, was made from the northeast, heading 239.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24L, which had a length of 2,587 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed of 136 knots, touchdown distance of 455 meters, touchdown speed of 126 knots, and touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 250°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,527 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 658 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,691 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the approach. The touchdown distance of 455 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had executed a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft had touched down smoothly and without any significant deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,527 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal deceleration and no significant deviations from the runway centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the entire process.
