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 2,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 504 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 03R, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 977 m, which represented 26 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 151 kt. Ambient temperature was 33 °C, wind 10 kt from 30°, giving a head-wind component of 9 kt and a cross-wind of 1 kt.
Climb began approximately 1 mile south-west of Artemida (Attica, Greece), with the airplane climbing from 1,244 ft asl to 39,686 ft asl, an increase of 38,441 ft attained in 39 minutes while covering 297 nm.
Level cruise was established 15 miles north-west of Othonoi (Ionian Islands, Greece) and persisted for 135 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,016 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles north of Lege (Pays de la Loire, France), descending from 40,000 ft asl to 1,995 ft asl, a loss of 38,005 ft accomplished in 23 minutes and covering 141 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, beginning 1 mile west of Plouneour-Menez (Bretagne, France), lasting 5 minutes and spanning 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 251.0°, at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 25L, whose total length is 2,793 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 141 kt, and touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt, a vertical speed of minus 247 fpm, and alignment described as very good. Local temperature was 23 °C, wind 4 kt from 300°, providing a head-wind component of 3 kt and a cross-wind of 3 kt. The total landing distance measured 1,016 m, representing 36 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,479 nm, required 209 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 9,310 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,282 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 height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 141 kt. Local weather was 23 °C with wind 4 kt from 300°, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt described as a little fast and a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 247 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,016 m, representing 36 % of the 2,793 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the excellent stabilised approach while refining speed management to bring the threshold speed closer to the target and reduce touchdown speed slightly toward VREF, which will further optimise the landing envelope.
