Monitor your taxi speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 409 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 area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,114 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 3 knots was present. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,079 feet above sea level to 36,347 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,268 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 593 nautical miles. This phase began 5 miles west of Greenfield, California. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles north of Gates, Oregon. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,494 feet above sea level to 1,632 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,863 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 34L at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. The approach was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 411 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was -167 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 10 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 863 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 6,100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34L. The final approach was executed from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's score for this landing was an impressive 99.7%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 139 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 147 knots. The touchdown distance of 411 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 3.6 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,335 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, this landing was a successful and well-executed operation, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
