Improve the taxi
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,951 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 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 737-600, then departed from runway 14L at AYPY Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,033 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 133 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of the airport and reaching an altitude of 39,966 feet above sea level. The climb phase covered a distance of 317 nautical miles and took 41 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 38,826 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 42 miles east of YLZI Lizard Island Airport. This phase lasted for 54 minutes and covered a distance of 1,157 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles north of Orroroo, and descended from 39,957 feet to 38,169 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles north west of YJST Hubert Wilkins Airstrip, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of Jamestown, and descended from 37,641 feet to 1,314 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at YPAD Adelaide International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 230.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 767 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,613 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 113 minutes. The aircraft used 9,842 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at YPAD Adelaide International Airport, achieving a score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The total landing distance of 767 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was very good. This indicates that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and stable deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
