Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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.
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 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 67 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 999 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Frankfurt Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,375 feet above sea level to 33,795 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,421 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of the Eudenbach glider field (EDYE) in Windhagen, Germany, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 5 miles north of Domburg in the Netherlands, and climbed from 34,175 feet above sea level to 40,147 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,972 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 31 miles northeast of Broadstairs in England and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Abridge in Essex, England, and descended from 40,206 feet above sea level to 1,428 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,778 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC) was made from the southwest, heading 51.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,201 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown distance of 66 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at 26 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,206 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 485 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 3,689 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 98.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 51.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and descended smoothly onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilots maintained a consistent rate of descent and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 123 knots, which may have been due to the pilots' cautious approach to ensure a safe landing.
The touchdown distance of 66 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of 26 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's descent was smooth and controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,206 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots maintained a good balance between speed and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold. The pilots' skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design specifications.
