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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,408 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,514 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 280°. The enroute climb started overhead College Park, Georgia, and continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 2,063 feet to 36,744 feet.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Coalfield, Tennessee, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 424 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 10 miles east of Petrolia, Ontario, Canada, and descended from 37,022 feet to 3,258 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 6 miles southeast of New Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile southeast of Long Branch, Ontario, Canada, and descended from 3,002 feet to 1,843 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 452 meters and a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was slightly above the target speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -7°C temperature and a 12-knot headwind at 300°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 698 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,657 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 33L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 131 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 452 meters was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the runway alignment or the aircraft's navigation system. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -7°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 53% of the runway length. However, there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline and maintaining a more precise touchdown speed.
