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 1,613 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,613 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 317 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 17 at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP), with a takeoff distance of 1,529 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south of KMSP, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,834 feet above sea level to 35,923 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,089 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles west of Madison, Minnesota. This phase lasted for 37 minutes and covered a distance of 765 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 10 miles south of Carey, Idaho, where the aircraft descended from 35,762 feet above sea level to 4,182 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,580 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (KBOI) was made from the southeast, heading 295.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,339 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R, which had a length of 3,034 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 319 meters, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,000 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes and consuming 6,624 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 295.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 3,034 meters and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, reaching 138 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing parameters. The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -396 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
The aircraft's touchdown position on the runway was slightly misaligned, deviating by 7.1 meters from the centerline. This minor discrepancy did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,538 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 51% of the runway's length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field was a successful operation, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, despite minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
