Slow down before tight turns
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 1,574 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,574 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 13 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The departure roll began on runway 36, and the takeoff distance was 1,399 meters, which is 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions were -22 °C with a wind of 9 knots at 10 °.
As the aircraft climbed out of Winnipeg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,979 feet above sea level in 12 minutes and covering 134 nautical miles. The climb started from an initial altitude of 1,898 feet above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 94 nautical miles, 6 miles east of Swanson Private Airport.
The enroute descent began 4 miles north of Pine River, Minnesota, and the aircraft descended from 35,001 feet above sea level to 4,002 feet above sea level in 16 minutes and covering 139 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, 2 miles south east of Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
The final descent began 2 miles north of Prescott, Wisconsin, and the aircraft descended from 4,003 feet above sea level to 2,293 feet above sea level in 3 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, heading 301.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,448 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 451 meters and a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions were -11 °C with a wind of 8 knots at 310 °.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 400 nautical miles, taking 48 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,649 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 30R, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,448 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 142 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 451 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot had maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's higher threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,490 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable approach and controlled the aircraft's descent. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft's landing at KMSP was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
