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 1,678 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,678 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 1,234 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 135 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,054 feet above sea level to 38,274 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,220 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile west of the Buck Creek Ranch Airport (4TN2) in Crossville, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 906 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles north of the Warroad International Memorial Airport (KRRT) in Warroad, Minnesota. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,027 feet above sea level to 2,087 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,941 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the north, with a heading of 188.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 415 meters, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -289 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.5 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 176 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,593 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,145 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,152 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 176°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,593 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment that may be worth addressing in future training or operations.
