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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,780 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,312 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 to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 3,927 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 49°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Idroscalo Milan (Lombardia, Italy) at an altitude of 1,315 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 37,495 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,179 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile south of Waltenschwil (Kanton Aargau, Switzerland). This phase lasted for 50 minutes and covered a distance of 330 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead Quend (Hauts-de-France, France) at an altitude of 37,995 feet above sea level. The descent continued to an altitude of 1,342 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,652 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the east, heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,312 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -203 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 50°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,090 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 572 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 48 minutes. The aircraft used 9,489 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 4,090 feet was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft landed within a reasonable distance from the threshold. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skills and judgment.
