Slow down before tight turns
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.

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 1,867 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,867 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 534 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 13 at Winnipeg's James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,373 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,824 feet above sea level to 37,476 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,652 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south west of Strathclair Airport. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 399 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 22 miles north west of Oyen Municipal Airport. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 36,768 feet above sea level to 4,755 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 35R at Calgary International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,185 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 4,265 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,792 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 657 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,032 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 35R was initiated from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,185 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt. The touchdown point was located 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 kt was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,792 meters was 42% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
