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.

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 1,608 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,608 m of the 3,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 446 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E175, then departed from runway 26 at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,058 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 229°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,175 feet above sea level to 34,983 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,808 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 17 miles east of Ruhnu Airfield and lasted for 35 minutes, covering a distance of 261 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles northwest of Trzcianne, Poland, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,597 feet above sea level to 3,776 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,821 feet. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Aleksandrow, Poland, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Czaplinek, Poland, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,495 feet above sea level to 1,651 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,844 feet. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at Warsaw Chopin Airport, flying from the southeast and heading 332.0° at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 447 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 150°.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 494 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,020 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 332.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 143 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended. The touchdown distance of 447 meters was deemed good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired. This may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -432 feet per minute, which is considered a negative aspect of the landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach path not being perfectly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,530 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the touchdown speed and rate, the Embraer E175 aircraft was able to successfully land at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%.
