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.
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 1,630 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,630 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 190 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,304 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 176 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. After departing from Winnipeg, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,786 feet above sea level to 35,904 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,118 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 6 miles southwest of Minnedosa, Manitoba, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 431 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 25 miles east of Hanna, Alberta, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,508 feet above sea level to 4,865 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,642 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Calgary International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 4,265 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 190 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -431 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,555 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 655 nautical miles, and the flight took 56 minutes. The aircraft used 4,804 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 35R was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 144 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 190 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -431 feet per minute was deemed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 19°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,555 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor issues with touchdown speed and runway alignment.
