Slow down before tight turns
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport. The takeoff distance was 792 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport, and Cayo Largo del Sur. The climb took 37 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 38,920 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,877 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 277 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south west of MUBT Corral de Rio Airport, Bartolome Maso. This phase lasted for 140 minutes and covered a distance of 988 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles south west of Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia. The descent took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,023 feet above sea level to 2,996 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,027 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south west of Bridgetown, Barbados. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at TBPB Grantley Adams International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 76.0 degrees and at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at TBPB Grantley Adams International Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 131 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -182 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 918 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,362 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 181 minutes. The aircraft used 7,353 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Grantley Adams International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 76.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 09, which has a length of 3,356 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, coming in at 131 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good. This indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and winds of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 918 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with a high degree of precision and control.
