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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 541 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the departure roll commenced on runway 18, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,263 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 128 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots at 52 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Frankfurt, it began its enroute climb phase 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany. The climb from 1,418 feet above sea level to 21,021 feet above sea level was achieved in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a further 30 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead Einhausen, Germany. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile north of Forst, Germany, and saw the aircraft descend from 21,011 feet above sea level to 2,804 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Stuttgart Airport (EDDS) was conducted from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 75.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,550 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots and a touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 930 meters, accounting for 31% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 121 nautical miles, with a flight time of 35 minutes and a fuel consumption of 449 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 75.0° at 4 nm and 1,550 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 117 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 104 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -131 fpm was smooth, indicating a gentle impact.
The touchdown point was 114 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a manageable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 20°, were not particularly challenging.
The total landing distance of 930 m, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, earning a score of 98.2%.
