Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 1,736 meters, which accounted for 57% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 359°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from a height of 2,123 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a maximum altitude of 23,019 feet. This climb phase, which covered a distance of 58 nautical miles, was completed in 11 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained a steady altitude for a period of 13 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The flight continued with a series of enroute level cruises and descents, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 22 at Dresden Airport.
The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from a height of 1,232 feet above ground level, with the aircraft heading towards the runway from the north-east. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 424 meters, which accounted for 45% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 1,139 meters. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,368 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 55 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 424 meters, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a speed of 136 knots, slightly above the ideal range. However, the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute was fair, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,139 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The combination of good approach quality, controlled touchdown, and precise rollout alignment resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
