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 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at DXXX Lomé-Tokoin International Airport in a duration of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 153 kt and became airborne after a takeoff run of 1,168 m, representing 39 % of the available runway; ambient temperature was 28 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced overhead Lomé, climbing from 996 ft asl to 12,984 ft asl, an altitude gain of 11,988 ft achieved in 5 minutes while traversing 24 nm.
Cruise began 3 miles west of Grand-Popo, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm at the assigned cruise altitude.
The first en-route descent started over Aneho, descending from 12,994 ft asl to 12,427 ft asl, a loss of 567 ft in 2 minutes and spanning 10 nm.
A subsequent descent began 5 miles south-east of Come, dropping from 10,642 ft asl to 1,300 ft asl, a reduction of 9,341 ft over 11 minutes and covering 47 nm.
For the final approach to runway 24 at DBBB Cadjehoun Airport, the aircraft approached from the north-east on a heading of 233.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl; local conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 24 was executed with a threshold speed of 144 kt; touchdown occurred 460 m down the runway at 137 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 247 fpm and perfect alignment; the runway length is 2,360 m and the total landing distance recorded was 1,428 m, equivalent to 61 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded with very good alignment and the aircraft decelerated to a stop within the remaining runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 98 nm, required 28 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1,174 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 entered the final approach to runway 24 at DBBB Cadjehoun Airport from the north-east on a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 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.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 144 kt and began the flare, achieving a good touchdown distance of 460 m. Touchdown speed was 137 kt, rated good, while the touchdown rate was fair at minus 247 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the runway length was 2,360 m with a good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned perfectly on the centreline, the speed and distance remaining within the good limits noted, and the sink rate recorded as fair at minus 247 fpm.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,428 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 98.2 % the landing was strong; refining the flare to reduce the touchdown sink rate will further smooth the touchdown and enhance consistency.
