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 1,469 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,469 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Great job on your recent aircraft landing with a score of 91.7%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to further analyze your strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment which is crucial for a smooth descent towards the runway. However, your speed was slightly below target. In future landings, try to ensure that you maintain the appropriate speed to help with a more precise landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you did well with the threshold height and executed a great landing flare. Your touchdown rate was excellent and your speed was right on target. Additionally, your touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, indicating good precision in your touchdown point. The runway touchdown position being 6.4 meters from the centerline is also within an acceptable range.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 9.7 meters from the centerline. While not a major issue, aiming for a more centered alignment can further improve your overall landing performance.
Overall, you should be proud of your 91.7% landing score as it shows strong proficiency in several key areas of the landing process. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on maintaining the appropriate speed, improving runway alignment, and refining your touchdown precision. Your attention to detail and dedication to improvement will surely lead to even better landing scores in the future. Keep practicing and striving for excellence in each phase of your landings. Well done!
