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 2,108 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 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 area to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25L at WIII Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 1,046 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,087 feet above sea level to 31,873 feet above sea level, a total increase of 30,786 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 87 miles south of Sukabumi, Indonesia, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 79 miles north of Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island, where the aircraft descended from 30,811 feet above sea level to 1,804 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 29,007 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at YPXM Christmas Island Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 354.0 degrees at an altitude of 916 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 36, which had a length of 2,108 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 338 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 329 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 872 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,992 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YPXM Christmas Island Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 354.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 916 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 338 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 329°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The runway length of 2,108 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 872 meters, which was only 41% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
