Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 ft 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA), with a takeoff distance of 3,073 feet, which was 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 90°F and winds blowing at 13 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. After departing from KMIA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 20,870 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 35 nautical miles, took 8 minutes and resulted in an increase of 19,850 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles. This phase began 12 miles west of the Advent Health Winter Garden ER Heliport (FA00) in Winter Garden, Florida. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles east of the Blanket Bay Airport (6FD5) in Yeehaw Junction, Florida. This descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 20,584 feet to 1,353 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,232 feet in altitude, over a distance of 45 nautical miles, and took 16 minutes.
The final approach to runway 17L at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17L, which had a length of 9,032 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 446 feet, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 84°F and winds blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 110°, with a crosswind component of 10 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,243 feet, which was 47% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, and the flight took 53 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4,873 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport on runway 17L, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a precise control of altitude during the approach phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold speed, reaching 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 446 feet was also within the expected parameters, signifying a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's control inputs.
Despite the fair touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing safety, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 4,243 feet was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-700 aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
