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 seven 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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 160 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 12L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) after a 6-minute taxiing period that covered 1 nautical mile. The takeoff distance was 1,045 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KMSP, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 9°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport and reached an altitude of 28,178 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,803 feet asl. This climb of 26,375 feet took 9 minutes and covered 44 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 4 miles east of the Pangerl Airport (MN68) and remained at that altitude for 9 minutes, covering 223 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 10 miles northwest of the Warroad International Memorial Airport (KRRT) and took 13 minutes to descend from 27,820 feet asl to 1,825 feet asl, covering 82 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at the Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, heading 8.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,035 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 158 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 126 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at CYWG were -16°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 357 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used 1,569 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 8.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,035 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 123 knots, but the touchdown distance of 158 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 963 meters, which accounted for approximately 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
