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 1,655 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,655 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 m past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 31 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 903 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of -26°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Winnipeg, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,846 feet above sea level to 38,664 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,818 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles south of Minnedosa, Manitoba, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 447 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 15 miles east of Hanna, Alberta, and took the aircraft from 38,399 feet above sea level to 4,883 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,517 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Calgary International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,326 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 4,265 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 111 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -24°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,575 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 655 nautical miles, and the flight took 62 minutes. The aircraft used 4,554 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 35R. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,326 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots, registering at 136 knots. However, the touchdown point was 111 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also a bit faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite cold, with a temperature of -24°C, but the wind was relatively light, blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,575 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 99.1%.
