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.
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 2,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 267°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile west of the airport and reaching an altitude of 34,154 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 110 nautical miles and took 13 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 32,574 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 585 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise phase started approximately 19 miles south of Tobermory Airport, and the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 34,154 feet. After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting approximately 19 miles west of Sioux Narrows Airport. The descent phase took 16 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease in altitude of 32,117 feet, from 34,181 feet to 2,065 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 31, coming in from the southeast at a heading of 319.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -12°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 31, with a total landing distance of 1,437 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 813 nautical miles, taking approximately 80 minutes to complete, and used 6,300 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 31, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 319.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the final approach. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of energy. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -12°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and direction effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,437 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's speed, direction, and energy during the final approach and touchdown phases.
