Slow down before tight turns
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,552 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-MAX8 then departed from runway 17R, utilizing 48% of the 1,838-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance. Liftoff speed was reached at 157 knots, with a local temperature of 24°C and wind conditions of 10 knots at 149°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of CYYC, with the aircraft ascending from 4,573 feet above sea level to 34,924 feet in 13 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a series of enroute climbs and level cruises that would take the aircraft across the Canadian and US borders. The first level cruise phase started 11 miles southwest of Canadian Forces Base Suffield Heliport Ralston, lasting 27 minutes and covering 787 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a second climb phase, increasing altitude from 34,980 feet to 36,471 feet in 2 minutes, before entering a second level cruise phase 5 miles north of Brule, Wisconsin, which lasted 25 minutes and covered 701 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, a descent phase began 4 miles south of Canton, Pennsylvania, with the aircraft decreasing altitude from 37,001 feet to 1,259 feet in 24 minutes, covering 213 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) was conducted from the northeast, with a heading of 211.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 269 meters and a touchdown speed of 146 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, utilizing 40% of the 2,557-meter runway. Taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,855 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 101 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,973 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 22L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport with a score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 211.0° at 4 nm and 1,235 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 149 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 146 kt, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed but still within safe limits.
The touchdown characteristics were firm, with a rate of -327 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a headwind of 20 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind of 7 kt was well within the acceptable range, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,017 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
