Monitor your taxi speed
See Arrival 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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport (EDDS), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 1,502 meters, which equated to 49% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 359°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 2,166 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 23,006 feet, a vertical increase of 20,840 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered 88 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed began approximately 1 mile east of Regnitzlosau, where the aircraft descended from 22,972 feet to 5,086 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered 18 nautical miles. The final descent phase began approximately 1 mile north east of Crostwitz, where the aircraft descended from 4,601 feet to 3,202 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Dresden Airport (EDDC), it began its final approach to runway 22 from the north east, heading 221.0° at an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 138 knots and a touchdown distance of 326 meters, which equated to 39% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,326 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 53 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, successfully completed a final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was 326 meters, which was within the expected parameters. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and coordination from the flight crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 980 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the flight crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 99.1% reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision displayed by the flight crew.
