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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,583 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,392 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBTV Burlington International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 15, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 5,466-foot-long runway, which represented 70% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of South Burlington. Over the course of 10 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,273 feet above sea level to 23,703 feet, an increase of 22,430 feet, while covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before initiating another climb phase 4 miles southeast of Newcomb. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 24,609 feet to 35,677 feet, an increase of 11,069 feet, in 7 minutes, while covering 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 448 minutes and covering 552 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
As the aircraft descended from 36,005 feet to 1,945 feet, a decrease of 34,060 feet, in 18 minutes, while covering 87 nautical miles, it prepared for its final approach to runway 27L. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which was 11,189 feet long, at a speed of 124 knots, slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 1,375 feet, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 756 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 11,482 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted 130 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -126 fpm, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 124 kt was slightly above the desired threshold speed of 128 kt, but still within acceptable limits. The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was perfect, both at touchdown and during the rollout phase.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a touchdown distance of 1,375 ft, which was well within the available runway length of 11,189 ft. The aircraft's speed management during the approach and touchdown phases was also commendable, with a threshold speed of 128 kt and a touchdown speed of 124 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 41 °F and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The overall landing performance was outstanding, with a total landing distance of 3,504 ft, which accounted for only 31% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed braking action and a smooth deceleration. The score for this landing was 99.9%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
