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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,001 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,495 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 240°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,136 feet above sea level to 38,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,862 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 166 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 38 miles south of Ses Salines, a location in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 470 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 19 miles south of LICG Pantelleria Airport, Pantelleria, Sicilia, Italy, and descended from an altitude of 38,660 feet above sea level to 1,445 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,215 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at LMML Malta International Airport was made from the south east, heading 316.0°, at an altitude of 1,187 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 11,001 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was 187 feet, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 2,553 feet, which was 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 780 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used 10,067 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LMML Malta International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 316.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,187 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 187 feet, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 127 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and precision. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -130 feet per minute, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 12 feet off the centreline. This minor discrepancy may be attributed to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 2,553 feet, which is approximately 23% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight deviation in the touchdown position and the minor discrepancy in the runway rollout alignment may be areas for improvement in future landings.
