Improve the 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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 410 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 24R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 817 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport Pendik, climbing from an altitude of 1,302 feet above sea level to 37,880 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 36,578 feet was achieved in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 271 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Corabia, a town in Olt, Romania. This phase of the flight lasted for 104 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 775 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Borgentreich, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,944 feet above sea level to 1,254 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,690 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the east, with a heading of 267.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 412 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 866 meters, and the total flight distance was 1,218 nautical miles, taking a total of 177 minutes. The aircraft used 7,589 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 137 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 412 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 866 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft and was able to navigate it safely onto the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft safely onto the runway.
