Slow down before tight turns
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 1,666 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,666 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 12L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) after a 6-minute taxiing period that covered 2 nautical miles. The takeoff distance was 1,131 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft departed the airport, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6°C and winds of 10 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of the airport and reached an altitude of 31,612 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,780 feet from the initial altitude of 1,833 feet. This climb took 12 minutes and covered 83 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of the Mille Lacs Lake Resort Airport (7MN4) and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 163 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles west of the Erickson Airport (87MN), descending from 31,509 feet to 2,153 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,356 feet in 16 minutes and covering 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at the Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, heading 10.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,361 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2°C and winds of 5 knots at 80°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,586 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 1,499 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 3,357 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 134 knots, indicating a high level of control and precision during the approach. However, the touchdown point was located 96 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly longer than expected landing distance.
The touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but could be improved upon in future approaches. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the approach path or landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,586 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
