Improve the 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,640 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,640 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 05, using 1,266 m (48 % of the runway) before liftoff at 158 kt. Local weather was temperature 26 °C with wind 6 kt from 090°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.
Climb began overhead Machico, ascending from 1,024 ft ASL to 33,595 ft ASL, an increase of 32,571 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 151 nm.
Level cruise was established at latitude 34.3558122, longitude -14.5898349 and persisted for 29 minutes, during which 256 nm were flown.
Descent started 103 miles southwest of Cascais, descending from 34,009 ft ASL to 1,646 ft ASL, a decrease of 32,362 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 123 nm.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,286 ft AGL.
Touchdown on runway 02 occurred at a speed of 130 kt, with a touchdown distance of 430 m and a descent rate of 52 fpm. The threshold speed was 138 kt, the total landing distance was 1,564 m (42 % of the 3,716 m runway), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was temperature 24 °C with wind 3 kt from 320°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft remained aligned with the centreline during the deceleration phase.
After rollout, the Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 538 nm, lasted 80 minutes, and used 3,429 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,286 ft agl, with local weather reporting a temperature of 24 °C, wind 3 kt from 320°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component; the overall landing received a score of 100.0 %.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and achieved a threshold speed that was good at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 430 m down the runway at a speed that was good at 130 kt, with a perfect touchdown rate of 52 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment; the total landing distance measured 1,564 m, representing 42 % of the 3,716 m runway length.
The rollout phase showed a perfect runway rollout alignment.
All phases were rated excellent; minor refinements could concentrate on preserving the already precise alignment and speed control to sustain the perfect score.
