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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Göteborg Landvetter Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 163 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C, a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 29 °, resulting in a headwind of 17 knots and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Göteborg Landvetter Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,541 feet above sea level to 30,355 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,815 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 5 miles north of Karlsborg, lasting 5 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Palsboda, descending from 30,317 feet above sea level to 4,853 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,464 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 73 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles east of Raby and lasting 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead Tureholm, with the aircraft descending from 4,841 feet above sea level to 1,392 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,449 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01L at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 10.0 ° and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 01L, with the aircraft touching down 89 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 21 knots at a direction of 10 °, resulting in a headwind of 21 knots and no crosswind.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 236 nautical miles, taking a total of 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,543 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as evidenced by the final approach score of 99.1%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01L, which has a length of 3,282 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown point was 89 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made a slightly smoother landing.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the perfect runway touchdown alignment. This indicates that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's heading and alignment with the runway throughout the approach and landing, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 21 knots at 10°.
The total landing distance of 1,004 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had made a good decision in terms of the approach speed and configuration, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience in operating the Airbus A320.
