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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,556 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 453 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 25 at CYGR Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport, located in Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. The takeoff distance was 721 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 316°.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYGR Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 34 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,177 feet above sea level to 40,450 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,273 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 230 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 17 miles northwest of CCE3 Juniper Airport in Juniper, New Brunswick/Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. This phase lasted for 93 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 792 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started approximately 2 miles southeast of Homer, Michigan, United States. The descent took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,344 feet above sea level to 10,866 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,477 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead KSBN South Bend Regional Airport in South Bend, Indiana, United States. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started approximately 1 mile west of KSBN South Bend Regional Airport. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,100 feet above sea level to 2,883 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,217 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead IN6 Hudson Lake in Indiana, United States. This phase lasted for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at KSBN South Bend Regional Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 451 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 169°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,116 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 149 minutes. The aircraft used 6,905 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KSBN South Bend Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 09R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 451 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
Despite this minor issue, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 169°, also played a role in the landing. The crosswind component of 6 knots was relatively strong, but the headwind component of 1 knot helped to mitigate its effects.
The total landing distance of 924 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown, without overrunning the runway. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor issues to address.
