Monitor your taxi speed
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 1,550 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,550 m of the 2,303 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 496 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Warsaw Chopin Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,056 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Wlochy, where the aircraft ascended from 1,362 feet above sea level to 22,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,616 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Poswietne, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Koliszowy. The descent from 23,015 feet above sea level to 3,858 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,158 feet in 12 minutes, covered a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 2 miles north of Pielgrzymowice and lasting 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles southwest of Maciejowice, where the aircraft descended from 3,764 feet above sea level to 2,063 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,701 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Kraków John Paul II International Airport took place from the east, heading 258.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25, which had a length of 2,303 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 75 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -151 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 240 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,464 meters, accounting for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,956 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 25, which has a length of 2,303 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly ahead of the ideal point.
The touchdown point was 75 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to manage the aircraft effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,464 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was commendable.
