Slow down before tight turns
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDS Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by rolling down runway 07, utilizing 55% of the available length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 159 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, with a crosswind component of 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from Stuttgart, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,010 ft asl after a 17-minute ascent of 33,012 ft, covering a distance of 104 nm. The climb phase was followed by a 34-minute level cruise at an altitude of 35,010 ft asl, during which the aircraft covered 237 nm. The descent phase commenced 1 mile north west of Boiensdorf, Germany, and continued until the aircraft leveled off at 3,057 ft asl, a decrease of 31,946 ft in 21 minutes, covering 122 nm. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase over Lilla Harrie, Sweden, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm, before commencing its final descent.
The Airbus A320 began its final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 139 kt, with a touchdown distance of 321 m, and a touchdown rate of -425 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 996 m, accounting for 30% of the available runway length. Following a 3-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 488 nm, utilizing 3,315 kg of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 85 minutes to complete the journey.
The final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,322 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 321 meters, but the touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast. This resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -425 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 9 knots at 230°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 996 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.8%.
