Improve the taxi
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,394 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 26R at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), with a takeoff distance of 1,542 meters, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, where it ascended from 1,220 feet above sea level to 5,884 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,665 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Buxted in East Sussex, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile south of Wadhurst in East Sussex, England, where it ascended from 5,751 feet above sea level to 35,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,235 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Sint-Pieters-Leeuw in Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Goesdorf in Wiltz, Luxembourg, where it descended from 36,503 feet above sea level to 1,775 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,728 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Strasbourg Airport (LFST) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,394 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 459 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,360 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 366 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 2,683 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFST Strasbourg Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 459 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have affected the pilot's approach and landing. However, the pilot's skills and experience were able to compensate for these conditions, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at LFST Strasbourg Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
