Monitor your taxi speed
See Arrival 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 290 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 22, utilizing 49% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,238 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots, with a local temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dresden, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,648 feet above sea level to 29,970 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for a duration of 14 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude as it approached its destination.
As the aircraft descended from 29,987 feet to 5,539 feet in 13 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles, it entered a series of level cruise phases, each lasting a few minutes and covering short distances. The final approach to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 74.0° and a height of 1,336 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 137 knots and a distance of 293 meters. The total landing distance was 846 meters, accounting for 28% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 303 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of -3,955 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 138 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 293 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating good control and precision.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly above the ideal range, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -554 fpm. This may have been due to the slight tailwind component of 3 kt, which could have contributed to the increased speed. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was generally smooth, with a total landing distance of 846 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. However, the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.6% reflecting the minor issues encountered during the touchdown and rollout phases.
