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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo. The takeoff distance was 1,079 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Machico, Madeira, Portugal. The climb began at an altitude of 1,193 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,508 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,315 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 276 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a location with a latitude of 36.4236569 and a longitude of -13.8902826, and lasted for 175 minutes, covering a distance of 1,284 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Twann, Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The descent started at an altitude of 38,778 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 3,485 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,293 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Robecco sul Naviglio, Lombardia, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was made from the south, heading 349.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 35L was successful, with a touchdown point 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -23 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 0 degrees, and a crosswind of 0 knots, headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,057 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,702 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 241 minutes. The aircraft used 9,476 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) on runway 35L. The final approach was executed from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 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 recorded at 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 148 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation was not significant enough to raise concerns. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -23 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not affect the aircraft's landing performance. The runway length of 3,509 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was recorded at 1,057 meters, or 30% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft came to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was within the acceptable range for a safe and successful landing.
