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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 427 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TAP Air Portugal CS-TVG taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 1,434 m (51 % of the runway) and achieving a liftoff speed of 155 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 69°, providing a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb began 1 mile north-east of LEIB, with the flight ascending from 992 ft asl to 37,003 ft asl, a gain of 36,011 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first cruise segment started 2 miles south-east of Altea and persisted for 50 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 345 nm at level flight.
A second climb was initiated 3 miles south of Lucena del Puerto, raising the altitude from 36,998 ft asl to 39,000 ft asl, an increase of 2,002 ft in 3 minutes and spanning 22 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase originated 2 miles south of Islantilla and lasted 5 minutes, covering an additional 33 nm.
Descent commenced 8 miles north of Sao Bras de Alportel, with the aircraft descending from 38,959 ft asl to 1,653 ft asl, a loss of 37,306 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was flown from the south, on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl.
Landing on runway 02 was executed with a threshold speed of 132 kt; touchdown occurred at 428 m down the runway, at a speed of 128 kt and a vertical speed of minus 6 fpm. The total landing distance recorded was 1,411 m, representing 38 % of the runway length. Local weather at the time was 24 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 310°, yielding a 6 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During rollout the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centreline, completing the landing roll within the measured 1,411 m distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 641 nm, required 111 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,706 kg of fuel.
TAP Air Portugal flight CS-TVG established the final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south, flying a heading of 23.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
The aircraft crossed the threshold of runway 02, whose length is 3,710 m, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed recorded as good at 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 428 m down the runway at a speed of 128 kt, both described as good, with a touchdown rate of minus 6 fpm rated perfect and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,411 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The landing earned a score of 100.0 %, indicating all measured items were within limits. Minor refinements could focus on preserving the current touchdown point near the 428 m mark and maintaining the minus 6 fpm vertical rate to keep the performance consistent.
