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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,815 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,815 m of the 3,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 used 1,331 m of runway, representing 51 % of the available length, and lifted off at 153 kt; ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 249°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Machico, rising from 557 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl, an increase of 33,443 ft achieved in 23 minutes while covering 161 nm.
The cruise segment began at latitude 34.8124224 and longitude -15.0366389, lasting 164 minutes and traversing 1,259 nm.
Descent started 1 mile south of Melden, Belgium, descending from 34,003 ft asl to 1,278 ft asl, a loss of 32,726 ft in 26 minutes and covering 136 nm.
Final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was executed from the north on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl; the aircraft then descended from 1,314 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 95 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 18R, which is 3,526 m long, was performed with a threshold speed of 145 kt; touchdown occurred 262 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 kt and a firm rate of minus 344 fpm, with perfect alignment; local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 60°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a tail-wind of 1 kt; total landing distance measured 1,739 m, equal to 49 % of runway length.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,569 nm, required 225 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 8,628 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 conducted the final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the north on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,314 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 95 seconds. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 060°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 145 kt. The flare was executed under the same wind conditions, maintaining the established approach parameters.
Touchdown occurred 262 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 139 kt, which was judged good. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 344 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,739 m, representing 49 % of the 3,526 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To improve the score, aim to reduce the touchdown point distance to bring the landing closer to the intended aim point near 300 m (1,000 ft) from the threshold, and refine flare technique to soften the firm rate of minus 344 fpm.
