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 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 353 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC), with a takeoff distance of 868 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 65 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Manchester, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 41,053 feet above sea level (asl) in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. The climb involved an increase of 39,783 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north-east of Hemsby in Norfolk, England. This phase lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 176 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north-east of Arcen in the Netherlands. The descent from 41,285 feet asl to 9,869 feet asl took 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Holzhausen an der Haide in Germany. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Daxweiler in Germany. The descent from 9,844 feet asl to 1,537 feet asl took 9 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the south-west, with a heading of 70.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,192 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 352 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,160 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 481 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used 3,522 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 352 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise heading and alignment with the runway during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to handle the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,160 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control of the aircraft.
