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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,397 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,397 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 268 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,657 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Charlwood in Surrey, England. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,218 feet above sea level to 3,970 feet, an increase of 2,752 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Ewhurst in Surrey, England. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 1 mile south of Bramley in Surrey, England. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 4,344 feet above sea level to 18,673 feet, an increase of 14,328 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead the town of Yalding in Kent, England. This cruise phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 225 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead the town of Langerwehe in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 18,803 feet above sea level to 1,722 feet, a decrease of 17,081 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at EDLW Dortmund Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 60.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 1,397 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 268 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 861 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,866 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDLW Dortmund Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 1,397 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 134 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance of 268 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly faster touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 861 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 98.3%.
