See Departure 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDS Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 07, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,542-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,266 meters accounted for 42% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Neuhausen auf den Fildern, rising from 2,065 feet above sea level to 27,015 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 10-minute level cruise 1 mile south of Rugland, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered 79 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 1 mile east of Regnitzlosau, with the aircraft losing 22,669 feet in altitude over a distance of 88 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off overhead Schonfeld for 7 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles, before resuming its descent 2 miles southwest of Schwepnitz. The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft touching down on the 2,542-meter runway at a speed of 128 knots.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters and a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair. The total landing distance of 1,006 meters accounted for 40% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 274 nautical miles was achieved in 51 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2,111 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 133 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 393 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 128 kt was slightly above the ideal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -236 fpm, which was fair but not optimal. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,006 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was acceptable. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
