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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,927 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,927 ft of the 7,477 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,240 ft 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,399 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 0 knots at 72 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, rising from an altitude of 5,207 feet above sea level to 35,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,799 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Clearview Acres in Wyoming. This phase lasted for 98 minutes and covered a distance of 805 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile north of IA8 Dyersville Area Airport in Iowa, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,730 feet above sea level to 1,744 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,986 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,067 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27R, which had a length of 7,477 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,240 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 5,661 feet, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,098 nautical miles and lasted for 163 minutes, using 13,978 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,067 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 150 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,240 feet, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 5,661 feet was 76% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway and that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
