Slow down before tight turns
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 1,630 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,630 m of the 3,906 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 727 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Asturias Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 145 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,483 meters accounted for 68% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 17°C and a negligible headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it reached a maximum height of 37,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,930 feet from its initial altitude of 980 feet. This climb phase, which started overhead San Juan de la Arena, took 19 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 58 minutes and covering 458 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Milan Malpensa International Airport. The descent phase, which started 1 mile east of Pragelato-Rua, took 16 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft eventually leveling off at 3,307 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 315 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,553 meters accounted for 52% of the runway length, with a runway rollout alignment that was perfect. The total flight distance of 701 nautical miles was completed in 1 hour and 7 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,065 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the south. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a slightly higher than target threshold height of 63 ft agl, but the threshold speed of 131 kt was well within acceptable limits. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 127 kt, which was a tad faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -181 fpm was satisfactory.
The touchdown point was located 315 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown alignment was impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a precise centerline path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 0 °, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The absence of any significant crosswind or headwind further facilitated a controlled descent.
The total landing distance of 1,553 m, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. The runway rollout alignment was flawless, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance was commendable, earning a score of 91.3%.
