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 3,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,249 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of -4°C. The enroute climb started overhead Winthrop, Massachusetts, and reached an altitude of 32,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,924 feet from the initial altitude of 1,050 feet. This climb took 16 minutes and covered 55 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Ware, Massachusetts, and lasted for 45 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 275 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 2 miles north of KPSB Mid-State Regional Airport in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and descended from 33,299 feet to 13,619 feet, a decrease of 19,680 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of East Brady, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent, which began overhead Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania, and descended from 13,687 feet to 3,977 feet, a decrease of 9,710 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered yet another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which began 1 mile west of Millvale, Pennsylvania, and descended from 3,798 feet to 2,416 feet, a decrease of 1,382 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport was made from the east, heading 272.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,630 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 436 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 299°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,377 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used 4,130 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 28L at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,630 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable approach and landing configuration.
However, the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating a slightly steeper-than-desired descent rate. This may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain a stable approach and touchdown configuration in the face of challenging wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 299°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,377 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a stable and controlled manner.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft on runway 28L at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 99.7%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the pilot successfully navigated challenging wind conditions and maintained a stable and controlled approach and landing configuration.
