Improve the 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 270 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at KTLH Tallahassee Regional Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,925 m, representing 79 % of the runway, and lifted off at 147 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 35 °C, wind from 040° at 9 kt, a crosswind component of 7 kt and a tailwind component of 6 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of KTLH, with the airplane ascending from 1,078 ft asl to 36,715 ft asl, an increase of 35,637 ft achieved in 30 minutes while covering 194 nm.
The first level cruise began 4 miles west of Gum Branch, Georgia, and persisted for 17 minutes, during which 127 nm were flown.
Descent phase one started 4 miles north of 99SC St. Mathews Airport, South Carolina, with the aircraft descending from 37,078 ft asl to 21,068 ft asl, a loss of 16,010 ft over 10 minutes and a distance of 71 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 1 mile north-east of Wallace, South Carolina, lasting 5 minutes and covering 31 nm.
The subsequent descent began overhead Pinehurst, North Carolina, dropping from 21,068 ft asl to 1,732 ft asl, a reduction of 19,335 ft in 15 minutes while traversing 73 nm.
Final approach to runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh-Durham International Airport was conducted from the north-east, on a heading of 225.0°, at 4 nm and 1,355 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 37 °C, wind from 200° at 10 kt, a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind component of 9 kt.
Landing on runway 23R, which is 3,044 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 272 m down the runway at 131 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 326 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.4 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 1,272 m, equivalent to 42 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 504 nm, required 95 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,830 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 entered the final approach to runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 225.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,355 ft agl, with temperature 37 °C, wind 10 kt from 200 °, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind component. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 136 kt, establishing the flare in accordance with the expected parameters.
Touchdown occurred 272 m down the runway, with a good touchdown speed of 131 kt and a firm touchdown rate of minus 326 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 1,272 m, representing 42 % of the 3,044 m runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, allowing the aircraft to decelerate safely along the centreline.
To convert the high sink rate into a stabilised approach, the crew should refine speed and pitch management during the final 1,000 ft segment. Improving centreline tracking will eliminate the small 3.4 m offset observed at touchdown.
