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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 702 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 737-800, then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,237 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was also 8 knots. After departing from Winnipeg, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,798 feet above sea level to 37,459 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,661 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 12 miles south of Shoal Lake Airport and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 388 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 11 miles west of Oyen Municipal Airport and took the aircraft from 37,405 feet above sea level to 4,804 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,601 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Calgary International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 181.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,236 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 4,265 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots, and the touchdown point was 291 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -237 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 9°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,699 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 649 nautical miles, and the flight took 66 minutes, using 4,712 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 17L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the pilot executed a smooth touchdown on the runway.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when crossing the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 154 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable approach. The touchdown point was 291 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 144 kt was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from 220°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 7 kt. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,699 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.2%.
