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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,378 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 335 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The RJ100 aircraft took off from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. After taxiing for 7 minutes from the parking to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nm, it departed and successfully completed the takeoff roll, achieving liftoff at a speed of 144 kt. The aircraft utilized 51% of the 1,241 m runway length to lift off the ground.
The local weather conditions at takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C, a wind speed of 17 kt, and a direction of 290°. This resulted in a 16 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind, which the aircraft had to compensate for during the takeoff process. The aircraft climbed from 1,714 ft above sea level to an altitude of 30,423 ft, a gain of 28,709 ft in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nm.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it leveled off at an altitude of 30,423 ft and remained in this state for a short period of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nm, before continuing with its journey. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 30,497 ft above sea level to 6,173 ft, a decrease of 24,324 ft, which was covered in just 16 minutes and spanned a distance of 99 nm.
The aircraft made another level cruise at an altitude of 6,173 ft before commencing its final descent from an altitude of 6,140 ft above sea level to 1,729 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. The aircraft's final approach was a gentle descent from an altitude of 1,215 ft above ground level onto runway 35R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
Upon landing on the 2,378 m runway, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 108 kt and a rate of -180 fpm. This was below the target threshold speed of 113 kt, but still within the accepted range. The touchdown distance was also good, at 335 m, and the airplane rolled out of the runway quickly, reaching a position aligned with the parking area. Taxiing from the runway to the parking took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance of 280 nm took 65 minutes to complete, during which 2,084 kg of fuel was utilized. Overall, this flight demonstrates the capabilities and efficiency of the RJ100 aircraft in navigating through various weather conditions and navigating different airports.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport with a precision score of 99.8%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 35R from the south, heading in a direction of 345.0° at an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target at 113 knots, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 335 meters. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 108 kt was well within the target range, indicating a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -180 ft/min was also impressive, illustrating a gentle descent into the runway.
The conditions on the day of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28 °C, and wind speeds of 10 kt at 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 4 kt, which still allowed for a precise approach and landing. The runway used for the landing was 2,378 meters long, providing sufficient space for the RJ100 to touch down and roll out safely.
The RJ100's runway touchdown alignment was particularly noteworthy, with a perfect roll out alignment, indicating excellent control and precision throughout the landing phase. Moreover, the total landing distance was 799 meters, which is just 34% of the available runway length. This demonstrates that the pilot has expertly managed the aircraft's speed and lift to achieve a smooth and efficient landing.
