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 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at GCXO Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, located in the Canary Islands, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,446 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 3,072 feet above sea level to 26,343 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,271 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 86 miles north of Tegueste in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 84 miles southeast of Canico in Madeira, Portugal. The descent from 26,364 feet above sea level to 2,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,371 feet in 16 minutes, covered a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of Canical in Madeira, Portugal. This phase lasted 4 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles southeast of Agua de Pena in Madeira, Portugal. The descent from 2,205 feet above sea level to 387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,818 feet in 4 minutes, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the southwest, heading 42.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 205 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway, which had a length of 2,483 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,037 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 295 nautical miles, which was covered in 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,089 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 42.0° at an altitude of 205 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 330°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,037 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was exceptional, with a high score and impressive approach and landing metrics. The favorable weather conditions and the aircraft's smooth touchdown and rollout contributed to a safe and successful landing.
