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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,616 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,616 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 191 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 to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 23 at Comiso Airport (LICB), located in Sicily, Italy. The takeoff distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14°C and winds of 5 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. After departing from Comiso Airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 516 meters above sea level to 10,470 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,953.6 meters in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles north of Campofelice di Roccella, Sicily, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 20 miles south of Ponza, Lazio, Italy, descending from 10,455 meters above sea level to 1,361 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,094.1 meters in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time overhead Trevignano Romano, Lazio, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute descent started again overhead Trevignano Romano, with the aircraft descending from 1,250 meters above sea level to 389 meters above sea level, a decrease of 861.0 meters in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) was made from the north, heading 162.0° at 4 nautical miles and 382.2 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16L, which had a length of 3,894 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 191 meters, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -2.7 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and winds of 9 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,536 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 353 nautical miles, taking a total of 73 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,694 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 162.0° at an altitude of 382.2 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 143 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 191 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -2.7 meters per second was quite high, suggesting a hard landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,536 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted slightly off the centerline during 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 touchdown phases.
