Slow down before tight turns
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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,930 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,930 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 817 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT), the Airbus A350-1000 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 02, it was met with a temperature of 34 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 60 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 4 kt. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 158 kt, utilizing only 30% of the available runway length of 1,128 m.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Camarate, Portugal, and continued to ascend to 32,001 ft asl, a total increase of 30,712 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Casas de Millan, Spain, and lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an additional 44 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 1 mile north of El Gordo, Spain, and saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 32,000 ft asl to 3,196 ft asl, a total decrease of 28,804 ft in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD) was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 323.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 142 kt, and the touchdown point was located 415 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt and a touchdown rate of -160 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,863 m, accounting for 62% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 313 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 56 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7,461 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a threshold speed of 142 kt, slightly above the target. The touchdown point was located 415 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -160 fpm was good, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and consistent descent path. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 357 °, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 3 kt and the headwind component of 4 kt were minimal, allowing for a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,863 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 92.1%.
