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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 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 to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EFTP Tampere-Pirkkala Airport in Tampere, Finland. The takeoff distance was 1,047 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -9°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,348 feet above sea level to 38,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,659 feet in 38 minutes, covering a distance of 267 nautical miles. The climb started overhead EFTP Tampere-Pirkkala Airport. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 150 minutes and covered a distance of 1,057 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 5 miles northeast of Smarde, Latvia.
The enroute descent phase started 3 miles south of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, Italy, and lasted for 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,007 feet above sea level to 3,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,906 feet. This descent covered a distance of 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 9 miles northeast of Isola delle Femmine, Italy.
The final approach to runway 25 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport in Palermo, Italy, was made from the northeast, with a heading of 247.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was -174 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°.
The total landing distance was 961 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,484 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 222 minutes. The aircraft used 9,764 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Falcone–Borsellino Airport, located in Palermo, Italy, with a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 247.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 961 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the plane to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
