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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,012 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,731 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 6,920 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 83°F and winds of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from KMIA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida. The climb took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 207 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,069 feet above sea level to 37,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,199 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 12 miles south of Norman Cay in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 62 minutes and covered a distance of 507 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 62 miles northeast of Samaná El Portillo Airport in the Dominican Republic. The descent took 36 minutes and covered a distance of 187 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,093 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,793 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10 at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (TJSJ) from the west. The aircraft was heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 373 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and winds of 8 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 3,889 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 912 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 152 minutes. The aircraft used 15,202 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at TJSJ Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 10, which has a length of 8,012 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 373 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touching down on the runway. However, the touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have done a better job of controlling the aircraft's descent rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing, but they did not appear to have had a significant impact on the outcome.
The total landing distance of 3,889 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently after touchdown, and that the aircraft was able to stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout and had brought it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown rate, the pilot's overall performance was excellent, and the aircraft landed safely and efficiently.
