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 5,301 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,301 ft of the 7,602 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 976 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 aircraft took off from runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, located in Rhode Island, United States. The departure roll was smooth, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 163 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 82 °F and a wind speed of 17 kt at 200 °, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 17 kt headwind.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started at an altitude of 1,077 ft above sea level and gradually increased to 35,302 ft, a total ascent of 34,225 ft, in just 7 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 151 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 100 minutes and covered a significant distance of 977 nm. This phase of the flight took the aircraft 67 miles south east of Matinicus Island Airport in Maine, United States.
The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, this time from 34,540 ft to 35,684 ft, an increase of 1,144 ft, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 97 minutes and covered a distance of 1,659 nm. This phase of the flight took the aircraft to a location with coordinates Latitude: 51.6195262 and Longitude: -47.4922726.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting overhead Castle Vale in the City and Borough of Birmingham, England. The aircraft descended from 36,417 ft to 5,932 ft, a decrease of 30,485 ft, in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm, as it flew over Knowle in Solihull, England.
The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting 1 mile north west of Dorridge in Solihull, England. The aircraft descended from 5,945 ft to 1,930 ft, a decrease of 4,015 ft, in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered another brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm, as it flew 1 mile south west of Wroxall in Warwickshire, England.
The final approach to runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 326.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,192 ft above ground level. The landing on the runway was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 975 ft and a touchdown speed of 121 kt, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -285 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48 °F and a wind speed of 5 kt at 70 °, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. The total landing distance was 5,022 ft, which was 66 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 2,825 nm, and the flight duration was 230 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 25,438 lbs of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 326.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 975 feet. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly faster-than-ideal landing. The touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 5 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a good runway touchdown alignment, with a slight deviation of 39 feet from the centreline during the rollout.
The total landing distance of 5,022 feet was 66% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, which may have been due to the crosswind conditions. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
