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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLGA LaGuardia Airport's runway 13 served as the departure point for the Embraer E175, which began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then executed a departure roll, lifting off the ground at a speed of 147 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,201 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 21 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 980 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 21,806 feet, an increase of 20,827 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles, before the aircraft initiated its descent phase. The descent from 22,000 feet to 2,800 feet took 13 minutes, covering 106 nautical miles, and was followed by another brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase, from 2,151 feet to 203 feet, was completed in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The Embraer E175 then began its final approach to runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, executing a smooth touchdown at a speed of 128 knots, with a touchdown distance of 384 meters. The aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 229 nautical miles, using 1,258 kilograms of fuel in the process, and lasting a total of 39 minutes.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport from the north. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, coming in at 134 kt, which may have been a result of the 10 kt headwind.
As the aircraft touched down, it did so at a speed of 128 kt, which was a little fast, and a rate of -266 fpm, which was fair. The touchdown distance was good at 384 m, indicating a well-executed flare. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the 1 kt crosswind component.
The aircraft's rollout was very good, with excellent alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,243 m was 57% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled stop. Overall, the landing was scored 98.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
