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 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 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 area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 31 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,193 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -17°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 300°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Winnipeg, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took 14 minutes to reach a height of 38,099 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,243 feet. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 12 miles north of Rivers, Manitoba, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 410 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 20 miles northwest of Oyen Municipal Airport in Alberta, and took 18 minutes to descend from 38,412 feet to 5,102 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,309 feet. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17L at Calgary International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0°, and the aircraft touched down 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was a little fast, and a touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of -17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,365 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 654 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 4,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 17L was initiated from the north, with a heading of 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,538 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 150 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown point was located 65 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute, which was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.5 meters, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,365 meters was 32% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the intended landing parameters.
