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 1,741 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,741 m of the 2,558 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17R at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,990 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Calgary, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 280°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and reached an altitude of 34,834 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 4,553 feet asl. This climb phase covered a distance of 126 nautical miles and took 15 minutes.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Babb Airport (49S) in Montana, United States. This cruise phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 688 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 10 miles northeast of Central, Utah, and ended at an altitude of 15,950 feet asl. This descent phase covered a distance of 78 nautical miles and took 6 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles east of Echo Bay Overton Airport (0L9) in Nevada, United States. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 13 miles southwest of Echo Bay Overton Airport and ended at an altitude of 9,324 feet asl. This descent phase covered a distance of 48 nautical miles and took 9 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south of Jean Airport (0L7) in Nevada, United States. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Jean Airport and ended at an altitude of 3,639 feet asl. This descent phase covered a distance of 17 nautical miles and took 5 minutes.
The final approach to runway 01L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, was made from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at an altitude of 1,510 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on a runway length of 2,558 meters, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown point was 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 995 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 6,324 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,510 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 knots. The touchdown point was located 63 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm, at -305 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, being off by 11.2 meters. This discrepancy may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,668 meters was 65% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, being off by 11.0 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position being off-centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor discrepancies that could be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
