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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at LPPD João Paulo II Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,125 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 289°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Portugal. The climb took 37 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,371 feet above sea level to 38,853 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,482 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 322 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 81 minutes and covered a distance of 699 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location with a latitude of 39.0172037 and a longitude of -18.991075.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north of Antiguedad in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The descent took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,630 feet above sea level to 1,892 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,738 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 185 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport was made from the southeast, heading 306.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown distance of 326 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,212 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 6,816 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, aligning with a heading of 306.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level.
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a score of 99.3%. This indicates that the pilot adhered to standard operating procedures and maintained a high level of situational awareness throughout the approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 130 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot was well within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 124 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more gradual descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 809 meters was only 33% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft's landing at LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency.
