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 1,945 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,945 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 34L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,781 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 260 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Rome, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile north of the airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 991 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,987 feet, an increase of 36,996 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 230 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated approximately 1 mile west of Trequanda, Italy. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Torre, Switzerland, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from a cruising altitude of 37,994 feet to an altitude of 2,733 feet.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 14 at Zürich Airport, approaching from the northwest. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots, with a touchdown point located 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,873 meters, or 60% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 485 nautical miles, with a flight time of 1 hour and 30 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3,847 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 142 kt. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a firm touchdown rate of -312 fpm, although the touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast. The touchdown point was 54 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 70 °, contributed to a stable approach. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,873 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway. The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 98.9%. The crew's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were demonstrated through a controlled and precise approach, touchdown, and rollout.
