Monitor your taxi speed
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 1,575 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,575 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E175, then departed from runway 06R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 934 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -10 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 50°.
The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,147 feet above sea level to 28,879 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,732 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Glens Falls North in New York, United States. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Watchtower in New York, United States. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 28,134 feet above sea level to 1,250 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,883 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 26.0° at an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,142 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 384 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,487 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 303 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,625 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) on runway 04R, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was significantly above the target, reaching 135 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 384 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a good landing performance.
However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than expected, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -387 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a bit more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft further before touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft performed well during the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled touchdown.
