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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 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 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,072 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 244 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport, and climbed from 1,802 feet above sea level to 28,445 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,643 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles southwest of Neepawa, Manitoba, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 468 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles east of Hanna, Alberta, and descended from 28,283 feet above sea level to 6,386 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,897 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles north of CEF4 Airdrie Aerodrome, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Airdrie, and descended from 6,458 feet above sea level to 4,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,578 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Calgary International Airport was made from the north, heading 180 degrees, at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 200 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 926 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 660 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,764 kilograms.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 17L. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a score of 99.1%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 101 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 110 knots.
The total landing distance of 926 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, showcasing the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
