Monitor your taxi speed
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,443 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,871 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 25 at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,745 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 279°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of KDEN Denver International Airport and climbing from an altitude of 6,371 feet above sea level to 24,264 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,893 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles northeast of Fraser, Colorado, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Kremmling, Colorado, and descending from 24,282 feet above sea level to 10,511 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,771 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles southwest of Hayden, Colorado, and lasting 8 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles east of Craig, Colorado, and descending from 9,653 feet above sea level to 7,874 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,779 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KHDN Yampa Valley Airport was made from the west, heading 114.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which has a length of 9,443 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 514 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -41 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,363 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 150 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 4,004 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KHDN Yampa Valley Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 114.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 131 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 514 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance but still indicates a need for improvement in terms of precision.
The touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 4,363 feet was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of precision and speed control, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and point.
