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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 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 to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at Talagi Airport (ULAA) in Archangelsk, Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,207 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of ULAA Talagi Airport and continued for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 329 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,084 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 38,899 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,815 feet.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Cherepovets (ULWC) in Vologda Oblast, Russia. This phase lasted for 129 minutes and covered a distance of 863 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 11 miles south of Svetlograd (URMN) in Stavropol'skiy Kray, Russia. The descent from 38,761 feet above sea level to 2,530 feet above sea level took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Nalchik Airport (URMN) was made from the north-east, heading 243.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,099 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 390 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 209 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 939 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,303 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 173 minutes. The aircraft used 8,009 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at URMN Nalchik Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 243.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,099 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was also well within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute was perfect, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing. The runway length of 2,191 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 939 meters, which accounted for only 43% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, with a score of 100.0% indicating a flawless execution of the landing procedure.
