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.
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 1,730 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,730 m of the 3,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 855 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft accelerated over a take-off distance of 1,386 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 30 °C with wind 9 kt from 179 °, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and a head-wind component of 7 kt.
Climb commenced one mile south-west of EDDC Dresden Airport, with the airplane climbing from 1,714 ft asl to 36,533 ft asl, an increase of 34,819 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 121 nm.
Level cruise began one mile south of BPOL Bundespolizei Bayreuth in Bavaria and continued for 187 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,225 nm.
Descent was initiated 21 miles north-east of GMMY Kenitra Air Base, descending from 37,397 ft asl to 1,941 ft asl, a loss of 35,456 ft in 24 minutes and covering 125 nm.
The final approach to runway 35R at GMMN Mohammed V International Airport was flown from the south, on a heading of 345.0 °, at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,287 ft agl.
Landing on runway 35R, whose length is 3,709 m, occurred with a threshold height of 64 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 143 kt, both above the desired values. Touchdown was recorded 436 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 235 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 27 °C, wind 22 kt from 10 °, a cross-wind component of 10 kt and a head-wind component of 20 kt.
The total landing distance measured 1,646 m, equivalent to 44 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.5 m.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 1,480 nm, taking 241 and consuming 8,919 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 35R at GMMN Mohammed V International Airport from the south, maintaining a heading of 345.0° at 4 NM and 1,287 ft AGL. Ambient temperature was 27 °C with wind from 10° at 22 kt, comprising a 20 kt headwind and a 10 kt crosswind.
At the runway threshold the aircraft was 64 ft AGL, which was above the target height, and the approach speed was 143 kt, well above the target speed.
Touchdown occurred 436 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of -235 fpm, rated as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance measured 1,646 m, representing 44 % of the 3,709 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline.
With a score of 87.9 % the landing was solid; reducing the final-approach speed to the target will prevent the touchdown speed from being a little fast, and refining the flare to achieve touchdown within the zone will keep the landing distance and alignment optimal.
