Improve the 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,941 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport, a movement that lasted 13 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 162 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 1,884 m, representing 51 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 169°, giving a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of NZAA, with the aeroplane climbing from 934 ft asl to 31,473 ft asl, an altitude gain of 30,539 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 93 nm.
Level cruise began 24 miles south-west of NZTS Taharoa Aerodrome and was maintained for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 47 nm.
Descent was initiated 3 miles south-east of NZSD Stratford Airport, descending from 32,006 ft asl to 1,282 ft asl, a loss of 30,724 ft over 26 minutes and a distance of 147 nm.
The final approach to runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 3.0° at 4 nm and 1,236 ft agl; local weather reported 8 °C, wind 6 kt from 39°, a cross-wind of 3 kt and a head-wind of 5 kt.
Landing on runway 34, which is 1,941 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown was recorded 134 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 130 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,222 m, equivalent to 63 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 297 nm, required 65 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,463 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo approached runway 34 at Wellington International Airport from the south on a heading of 3.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,236 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt. The flare was executed in line with the expected parameters for the aircraft type.
Touchdown occurred 134 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at minus 130 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,222 m, representing 63 % of the 1,941 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 6 kt at 39 °, a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the touchdown point distance beyond the touchdown zone and improving centreline alignment to keep the touchdown within a tighter lateral tolerance. Maintaining the current speed and flare technique will support these adjustments.
