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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 407 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base. The takeoff distance was 1,559 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 30°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Orio al Serio in Lombardia, Italy. It climbed from an altitude of 1,781 feet above sea level to 35,139 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,358 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of LFTY Vers Le Col Du Palet Airport Tignes in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 72 minutes, covering a distance of 273 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Sarrant in Occitanie, France. It descended from an altitude of 35,108 feet above sea level to 17,442 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,666 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Lalonquette in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Lalonquette in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It descended from an altitude of 17,442 feet above sea level to 2,571 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,871 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting overhead Saint-Laurent-de-Gosse in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport from the east, heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, which had a length of 2,039 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 408 meters, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 289°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,191 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 504 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 4,487 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 27 from the east, heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level (agl), showcased precise control and navigation skills.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 141 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 408 meters was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting a gentle and controlled impact.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 12 kt at 289°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The runway length of 2,039 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,191 meters, which was 58% of the runway length.
One minor deviation from the ideal landing procedure was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 4.4 meters off the centerline. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport was a success, with a high score of 98.6% indicating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures.
