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 five 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 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The CRJ900 took off from runway 13R at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). It took 13 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles to taxi from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft then began its departure roll, which covered 70% of the 1,956-meter runway before reaching liftoff speed of 159 knots. The local weather at the time of takeoff was characterized by a temperature of 26 °C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 109 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its assigned altitude, it began to take in the scenic views of New York and Pennsylvania. The enroute climb started overhead Inwood, and the aircraft ascended to an altitude of 34,739 feet above sea level (asl), increasing by 33,706 feet in just 15 minutes while covering 113 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Witmer in Pennsylvania, and lasted for 12 minutes as it traveled 286 nautical miles.
As the flight began its descent, it started over 5 miles northeast of Granville, Ohio. The descent phase covered a significant decrease of 32,092 feet in just 23 minutes, resulting in a decrease of altitude from 34,283 feet asl. The aircraft traveled 118 nautical miles while descending to its final approach altitude. The enroute descent phase came to an end, and the aircraft prepared for its final approach to runway 18L at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG).
As the CRJ900 entered its final approach to runway 18L, it was heading 181.0 degrees, was located 4 nautical miles from the runway, and had reached an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained an excellent runway alignment and touchdown speed, resulting in a smooth landing on the 3,050-meter runway. The local weather upon landing was characterized by a temperature of 22 °C.
The total landing distance was 1,319 meters, which accounted for only 43% of the runway length. The aircraft touched down safely, with a speed of 135 knots, albeit a bit faster than desirable. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute was exemplary. The aircraft's runway touchdown and rollout alignment were both considered very good. The CRJ900 finally came to a stop, taxiing to the parking area in just 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 528 nautical miles, and the flight duration of 63 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used a considerable amount of fuel, consuming 2,836 kilograms during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a CRJ900, has successfully executed a landing at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG). The aircraft made its final approach from the north, heading in a 181.0° direction at a distance of 4 nautical miles above ground level (agl), at an altitude of 1,287 feet.
The pilot's approach strategy and execution were well-coordinated with the aircraft reaching the runway threshold at an optimal speed of 141 knots. This demonstrates a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and its relation to the runway's dimensions. The runway in question was 3,050 meters in length, an adequate distance for a CRJ900, providing ample space for the aircraft to safely touch down and come to a stop.
During the landing, the pilot brought the aircraft to a successful touchdown on runway 18L, with the touchdown distance of 438 meters being a testament to the pilot's skill in executing a smooth landing. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 135 knots; however, this was not detrimental to the safety of the flight or the efficiency of the landing. Additionally, the aircraft's touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute was an impressive feat, showcasing the pilot's ability to slow down the aircraft's descent while maintaining a stable approach.
Local weather conditions at the time of landing consisted of a temperature of 22°C, which was relatively mild and did not pose any challenges for the aircraft's operation. The total landing distance of 1,319 meters was a relatively short distance, covering only 43% of the runway's length. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent, deceleration, and alignment throughout the landing phase.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a perfectly aligned path. This demonstrates the pilot's attention to detail and focus on ensuring a safe and efficient landing. Overall, the landing was a successful and controlled operation executed by the pilot of the CRJ900 at KCVG.
