Monitor your taxi speed
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 2,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport, with the Airbus A320 taking off after a distance of 1,540 meters, which is 62% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots coming from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, and ascended from an altitude of 1,244 feet above sea level to 27,560 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,316 feet in just 14 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 9 miles northwest of Veulettes-sur-Mer in Normandie, France, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 223 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Mandres-la-Cote in Grand Est, France, and the aircraft descended from 27,203 feet above sea level to 5,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,725 feet in 20 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 107 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again, this time overhead Egerkingen in Kanton Solothurn, Switzerland, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg began from the south east, with the aircraft heading 335.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,469 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 301 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots coming from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,251 meters, which is 45% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.0 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 425 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,110 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, achieving a score of 90.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south east, heading 335.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,469 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 33, which has a length of 2,783 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 140 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate of -615 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,251 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 45% of the runway length.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being misaligned by 17.0 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor loss of control during the rollout phase. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was satisfactory, and the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control.
