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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,575 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 120 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport. The takeoff distance was 781 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from KEWR, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 33,609 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 120 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 32,529 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south east of 5CT0 Eastford Airport. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles west of Ogunquit, Maine. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 33,296 feet to 1,349 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,947 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KBHB Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 205.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -561 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 956 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 354 nautical miles and took 68 minutes to complete, using 2,795 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBHB Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 22 was conducted from the north-east, with a heading of 205.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance of 120 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate of -561 feet per minute.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 956 meters was 61% 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 and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite a few minor deviations from ideal landing parameters.
