Slow down before tight turns
See Departure 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.

Side view — the last 1,792 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,792 m of the 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 454 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Edmonton International Airport, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 151 knots after covering 53% of the runway's length, which was 1,630 meters.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Leduc, Alberta, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,383 feet above sea level to 37,376 feet, an increase of 33,994 feet in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles southwest of Carstairs, Alberta, and lasted for 26 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 697 nautical miles. The descent began 3 miles southwest of the WY51 Platt Ranch Airport in Encampment, Wyoming, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,346 feet to 6,703 feet, a decrease of 31,643 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at Denver International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on the 3,670-meter-long runway, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 456 meters, with the touchdown speed at 120 knots and the touchdown rate at -188 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,710 meters, which was 47% of the runway's length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 933 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,571 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34R, which has a length of 3,670 meters.
The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 456 meters. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°C and winds of 15 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the aircraft landed safely and efficiently.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 7.7 meters off-centerline. This deviation was relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The total landing distance was 1,710 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
