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.
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 1,733 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,733 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-700 aircraft operated a flight from Calgary International Airport (CYYC). The takeoff was initiated on runway 17L, with a departure roll that covered a distance of 1,493 meters, which represents 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 147 knots and took 10 minutes to taxi from the parking bay to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
During takeoff, the aircraft encountered a headwind of 5 knots and crosswinds of 3 knots, which were favorable for the takeoff procedure. The local weather conditions were as follows: a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 210 degrees.
The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of CYYC Calgary International Airport. It climbed from an initial altitude of 4,566 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 37,637 feet, a vertical rise of 33,071 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
After completing the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise 16 miles west of Jaques Farms Airport (CJF4). It maintained this altitude for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 406 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 10 miles west of Rivers (Manitoba, Canada).
The descent from 37,364 feet to 2,119 feet took 17 minutes, a vertical drop of 35,245 feet, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The aircraft then performed its final approach to runway 18 at Winnipeg/James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG), approaching from the north at a heading of 189.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The landing on runway 18 was made at a speed slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, and at a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly faster than the target. The aircraft landed 111 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters.
The entire landing distance was 1,651 meters, which represents 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking bay in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 3,812 kilograms and a total flight duration of 1 hour and 26 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with an overall evaluation score of 96.8%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 18 from the north, flying at a heading of 189.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles distance and 1,328 feet above ground level.
During the landing, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been attempting to slow down the aircraft slightly more to ensure a safe touchdown. The touchdown point was 111 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed at 132 knots was a touch too fast. However, the descent rate of -215 feet per minute was considered fair for the conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a relatively low crosswind component of 3 knots and a significant headwind component of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain good runway rollout alignment with a very slight deviation of 6.2 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance required was 1,651 meters, which is approximately 49% of the runway's 3,357-meter length. The high landing distance could be attributed to the faster-than-target touchdown speed and the headwind component. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, and with some minor adjustments, could potentially improve the landing's score even further.
