Slow down before tight turns
See Departure 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,815 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,815 ft of the 10,560 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 960 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23R at the KIND Indianapolis International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,642 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°F, with no wind at 144°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 37,925 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 121 nautical miles and took 21 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 36,211 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northeast of Assumption, Illinois. This phase lasted for 151 minutes and covered a distance of 1,029 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles north of the KTAM Saint Johns Airport in Arizona. The descent phase covered a distance of 145 nautical miles and took 29 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 35,622 feet.
The final approach to runway 08 at the KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,236 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 10,560 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 957 feet. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F, with a wind of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance was 5,555 feet, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,302 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 212 minutes. The aircraft used 17,026 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on runway 08. The final approach was executed from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, registering at 141 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 957 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was a little fast, but not excessively so, and the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 5,555 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, bringing the aircraft to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 99.8%.
