Slow down before tight turns
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 1,626 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,626 m of the 2,988 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 555 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at RJBB Kansai International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft used 1,770 m of runway, representing 51 % of the available length, and lifted off at 165 kt. Local weather conditions were a temperature of 30 °C, wind 2 kt from 120°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of RJBB, with the aircraft ascending from 962 ft asl to 35,009 ft asl, an increase of 34,046 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 154 nm.
Level cruise began 10 miles south-west of Takayama (Gifu, Japan) and continued for 52 minutes, during which the flight covered 405 nm.
Descent started 21 miles east of RJCH Hakodate Airport, with the aircraft descending from 35,003 ft asl to 1,373 ft asl, a loss of 33,629 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 99 nm.
The final approach to runway 19R at RJCC New Chitose Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 173.0°, at 4 nm and 1,293 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19R, which is 2,988 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 kt. Touchdown was recorded 139 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 133 kt and a vertical rate of minus 240 fpm; runway alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was a temperature of 23 °C, wind 2 kt from 130°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.
The rollout distance measured 1,545 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained aligned perfectly throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling a further 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 666 nm, lasted 101 minutes, and consumed 4,365 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 executed a final approach to runway 19R at RJCC New Chitose Airport from the north on a heading of 173.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,293 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the runway measured 2,988 m and the threshold height was good; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 139 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 133 kt, described as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 240 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,545 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 23 °C with wind 2 kt at 130 °, crosswind 2 kt and headwind 2 kt.
To tighten the already strong performance, reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds to meet the target values and aim to touch down nearer the designated touchdown zone, which will further optimise runway usage.
