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 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 489 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA). The takeoff distance was 773 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 6 knots and no crosswind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Wlochy in the Masovian Voivodeship of Poland. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,396 feet above sea level to 31,052 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead the town of Niegowa in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of the town of Rostin in the Zlinsky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,072 feet to 1,858 feet.
The final approach to runway 34 at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 344.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 19 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 5 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,347 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 310 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,746 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 34, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 131 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 19°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,347 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds, the pilot's skill and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
