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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,260 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,679 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16R at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,515 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 58°F, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 130°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Fiumicino, Lazio, Italy. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 35,918 feet from 1,043 feet above sea level to 36,962 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles north of LIVH Aviosuperficie Renzo Storai Vicchio, Toscana, Italy, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 500 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles south-east of Havixbeck, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and took 24 minutes to descend from 36,332 feet above sea level to 1,260 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a final approach to runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with a total landing distance of 3,528 feet, which was 38% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 296 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -184 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 36°F, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 20°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 749 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 130 minutes. The aircraft used 11,561 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 36R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and smooth touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 3,528 feet was 38% of the available runway length of 9,260 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop, even with a slightly faster touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
