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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,619 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,619 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 306 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,134 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 100 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Zettling in the state of Steiermark, Austria, and ascended from an altitude of 651 meters above sea level to 10,182 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,530.9 meters, in 20 minutes while covering 107 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Taiskirchen im Innkreis in the state of Oberoesterreich, Austria. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile northwest of Merkendorf in Bavaria, Germany, and descended from an altitude of 10,357 meters above sea level to 509 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,848.2 meters, in 24 minutes while covering 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 70.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 399.8 meters above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 07R, which had a length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 308 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -2.6 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350 degrees, resulting in a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,546 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 342 nautical miles, took 77 minutes, and used 2,134 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 95.0%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at an altitude of 399.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 kt, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 148 kt. The touchdown distance of 308 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -2.6 m/s was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 4 kt from 350°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,546 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance.
