Slow down before tight turns
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,614 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,614 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) on runway 34R, utilizing 55% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 8 °C, with a wind of 6 kt at 250 °, resulting in a tailwind component of 2 kt. Following a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, the aircraft took to the skies, initiating a climb from 5,221 ft above sea level.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile north of KSLC, with the aircraft ascending to 33,966 ft above sea level, an increase of 28,745 ft in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nm. Following a 21-minute cruise at a level altitude, the aircraft began its descent from 33,994 ft above sea level to 4,970 ft above sea level, a decrease of 29,023 ft in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nm. The descent phase concluded approximately 2 miles south west of Coalhurst, Alberta, Canada.
The final approach to runway 29 at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 300.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,407 ft above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 2,432 m, with the threshold height being satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -268 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following a 5-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having traveled a total distance of 646 nm and utilizing 2,531 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 29 at CYYC Calgary International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,407 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 300.0°. The threshold height was well within acceptable limits, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 354 meters was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft maintained a relatively consistent descent rate of -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2°C and a headwind of 15 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,531 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the Embraer E175's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a score of 98.6% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the crew.
