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: 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 1,700 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,700 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 642 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A321 was a smooth and efficient one from start to finish. The taxiing from the parking to the runway at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport took 9 minutes and covered 3 nm. The departure roll on runway 17R was successful, with a takeoff distance of 2,194 m, 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 kn, despite a slight crosswind of 2 kn and headwind of 2 kn. The weather at the time of departure was clear, with a temperature of 23 °C.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, climbing from 1,595 ft asl to 35,002 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 139 nm. The enroute level cruise lasted 25 minutes, covering 378 nm. The descent started 6 miles southwest of Clanton (Alabama, United States), descending from 34,819 ft asl to 2,777 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 120 nm.
The landing on runway 09R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was successful, with a touchdown speed of 135 kn and VSI of -196 ft/m. Despite a crosswind of 8 kn and headwind of 3 kn, the landing was smooth. The total landing distance was 1,623 m, 59% of the runway. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 650 nm, taking 86 minutes and using 4,817 kg of fuel. The Airbus A321 performed well throughout the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and reliability.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 95.5%! This is a remarkable accomplishment that demonstrates your skill and proficiency as a pilot. Let's delve into a detailed analysis of each phase of the aircraft landing to further understand the strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a precise and well-executed descent towards the runway. This suggests that you were able to maintain the correct angle of descent, leading to a smooth transition from approach to landing. Your ability to maintain proper alignment during this critical phase of the landing process is commendable.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you exhibited good control of the aircraft's threshold height and landing flare. The threshold height plays a key role in ensuring a safe and successful touchdown, while the landing flare helps to minimize the impact of the landing on the aircraft. Your proficiency in these areas contributed to a successful and controlled landing, reflecting your proficiency and precision as a pilot.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. Additionally, your speed was on target, further enhancing the quality of the touchdown. However, it is worth noting that the touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal landing point. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 7.1 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight misalignment upon touchdown.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was 7.0 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. While this may have slightly impacted the overall landing score, it is a relatively minor issue that can be easily addressed through practice and continued refinement of your skills.
Overall, your landing score of 95.5% is a testament to your proficiency and expertise as a pilot. By focusing on minor areas for improvement, such as touchdown point accuracy and runway alignment, you can further enhance your landing performance and continue to excel in the aviation field. Keep up the excellent work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying endeavors. Great job!
