Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,575 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,575 m of the 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 36R at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG). The takeoff distance was 1,100 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,885 feet above sea level to 25,204 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,318 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead the Kemps Field of Dreams Airport (6OH9) in Covington, Ohio. The aircraft then began its first descent phase, starting 2 miles north of Russia, Ohio, and descending from 25,187 feet above sea level to 21,125 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,061 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles west of Delphos, Ohio. The aircraft then began its second descent phase, starting 5 miles northwest of the Gerker Airfield (OH60) in Fort Jennings, Ohio, and descending from 20,942 feet above sea level to 1,916 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,026 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21L at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW) was made from the northeast, heading 209.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 397 meters and a touchdown speed of 110 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 214 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 1,793 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ85 aircraft successfully landed at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 21L was initiated from the north east, heading 209.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 knots. The touchdown distance of 397 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 110 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -110 feet per minute.
However, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, and the tailwind component was 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory, and the total landing distance of 1,490 meters was within 49% of the runway length.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor issues with alignment. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently through the landing process.
