Slow down before tight turns
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 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 443 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 07C, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,284-meter stretch of the runway that comprised 32% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 150 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 3-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Frankfurt Airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. The aircraft successfully increased its altitude from 1,366 feet above sea level to 34,144 feet, a gain of 32,778 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 364 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent phase, which started 5 miles northeast of Mikleus, Croatia, and continued for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The aircraft successfully descended from 34,220 feet to 1,596 feet above sea level.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 12 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, approaching from the northwest. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 137 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,639 meters, which comprised 55% of the runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,486 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 12 at LYBE Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -102 fpm, indicating a well-executed flare. Although the touchdown speed of 132 kt was slightly above the desired threshold speed of 137 kt, the aircraft's deceleration was still effective in bringing the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown distance of 445 m was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy during the landing phase.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained a very good alignment with the centreline, with a deviation of only 3.8 m from the centreline. This indicates a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,639 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was also within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance.
Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.6%. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent, and the threshold height was well managed. The pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and control the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase were notable strengths. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and minor deviation from the centreline were the only areas for improvement.
