Monitor your taxi speed
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,654 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,654 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 653 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kos Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 32, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,459 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 293 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kos Island, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of the airport and continued for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,339 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 18,006 feet, an increase of 16,667 feet. Following a 14-minute enroute level cruise, which covered 39 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent, which started 40 miles south of Astypalaia. The descent from 18,022 feet to 1,534 feet took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport was initiated from the east, and the aircraft touched down 238 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. Following a go-around procedure, the aircraft landed successfully on runway 27, which had a length of 2,233 meters. The total landing distance was 1,574 meters, accounting for 71% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 168 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,092 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport from the east was executed with a heading of 275.0° at 4 nm and 1,444 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 65 ft above ground level, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 136 kt was well above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
The aircraft touched down 238 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt, which was fast. The touchdown rate of -298 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating good control and coordination during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,574 m was 71% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.3%. The approach and touchdown characteristics were acceptable, although there was room for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light wind of 5 kt at 310°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
