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.

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 2,497 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 10 at Cyril E. King Airport, TIST. The takeoff distance was 1,082 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the Charlotte Amalie Harbor Seaplane Base, Charlotte Amalie St Thomas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,011 feet above sea level to 38,031 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,019 feet in 36 minutes, covering 225 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles south of Boca de Yuma, Provincia de La Altagracia, Dominican Republic. This phase lasted for 153 minutes, covering a distance of 1,235 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 19 miles northeast of Frontera Corozal, Estado de Chiapas, Mexico. The descent from 37,676 feet above sea level to 18,764 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,912 feet, took only 3 minutes and covered 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of Altamirano, Estado de Chiapas, Mexico, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 3 miles south of Chanal, Estado de Chiapas, Mexico, and involved a significant decrease from 18,331 feet above sea level to 2,824 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,507 feet in 9 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at Angel Albino Corzo International Airport, MMTG, was made from the southeast, heading 329.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32, which had a length of 2,497 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute, which was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 141°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,067 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,604 nautical miles, taking 209 minutes, and the aircraft used 10,014 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at MMTG Angel Albino Corzo International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 329.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 130 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 141°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,067 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the pilot's landing technique.
