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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 107 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While the aircraft landing score of 83.2% may seem disappointing, it's important to remember that this is just one instance and there are always areas for improvement. Let's break down each phase to identify specific areas that can be worked on to improve future landings.
In the Approach Phase, it's clear that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. This indicates that adjustments need to be made to ensure a smoother approach and descent towards the runway. By practicing maintaining the correct glide path, pilots can work towards improving their overall approach phase performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, several factors contributed to the lower score. The threshold height being well below target suggests that adjustments in altitude control during the final approach are needed. Additionally, a very poor landing flare and poor bank angle stability during landing indicate a need for more precise control and coordination in these areas.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's evident that improvements can be made in touchdown rate, speed control, and touchdown distance. A very heavy touchdown and speed above target can cause undue stress on the aircraft and passengers, and practicing to achieve a smoother touchdown at the correct speed can make a significant difference. Additionally, ensuring that the touchdown distance is within the designated zone and aligning with the runway centerline can greatly improve landing accuracy.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being off from the centerline can be corrected with better alignment and control during the rollout. This phase is crucial for safely exiting the runway and taxiing to the terminal, so attention to details such as alignment can enhance overall landing proficiency.
In conclusion, while the landing score may not have been perfect, there are clear areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process. By focusing on practicing and refining techniques in descent path, altitude control, flare, touchdown, alignment, and speed control, pilots can work towards achieving smoother and more precise landings in the future. Keep up the hard work and dedication to continuous improvement, and success will surely follow.
