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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 08R at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR), with a takeoff distance of 1,486 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Vancouver International Seaplane Base (CAM9), where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to 37,025 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,005 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 17 miles northwest of Midway Airport (CBM6), and lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 706 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 8 miles northeast of Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome (CYVD), where it descended from 37,500 feet above sea level to 2,142 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,358 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the north, with a heading of 189.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,357 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -20°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,015 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 5,313 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 18. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the north, heading 189.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, with a threshold height that was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 137 knots, coming in at 132 knots. This resulted in a touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute (fpm), which was deemed fair. The touchdown distance of 460 meters was also considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.0 meters, which may have contributed to a slightly uneven rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -20°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,379 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.0 meters, which may have required the pilot to make some adjustments to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.0%.
