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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 253 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A350-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 26R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 160 knots, clearing the ground at 2,037 meters, which was 51% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 5 knots from 170°, and a crosswind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,999 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 186 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted 29 minutes and covered 840 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climb and cruise phases, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the climb from 38,005 feet to 38,996 feet in 2 minutes covered 43 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase lasted 47 minutes and covered 1,427 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, initially from 39,998 feet to 7,000 feet in 16 minutes, covering 167 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,323 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A350-900 landed on runway 22L, with a touchdown distance of 254 meters, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -235 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,693 nautical miles, taking 164 minutes, and the aircraft used 51,955 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, commenced its final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport from the north east, aligning with a heading of 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 254 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 10 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 150°, contributed to the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,211 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 99.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the crew demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency.
