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.

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 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28 at WARR Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 878 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the WARR Juanda International Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,019 feet above sea level to 32,021 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,002 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 50 miles east of WARW Bawean in Indonesia. This phase lasted for 478 minutes and covered a distance of 2,835 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 10 miles east of RJAN Niijima Airport in Japan. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 30,344 feet above sea level to 1,497 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,847 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Chigasaki in Japan. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at RJTA JMSDF Atsugi Air Base in Japan, which was located 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 2.0 degrees.
The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 382 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 119 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 320 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,995 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 476 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at RJTA JMSDF Atsugi Air Base / Naval Air Facility Atsugi with a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 119 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 382 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,163 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high degree of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 99.8% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilots during the landing.
