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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

Congratulations on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 94.9%! Your exceptional performance in various phases of the landing process is truly commendable.
During the Approach Phase, your precise glideslope alignment speaks volumes about your skill and control as a pilot. However, the speed being excessively high is something to keep an eye on in future landings. Maintaining a safe and appropriate speed is crucial for a smooth touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your good threshold height and excellent landing flare indicate a high level of proficiency. Your ability to gauge the correct height above the runway threshold and execute a flawless landing flare is key to a successful touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate may have been firm, it is important to ensure a smooth and controlled touchdown to enhance passenger comfort and safety. Additionally, the speed being excessively high could have contributed to the firm touchdown. Moreover, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being 10.2 m from the centerline is an area where improvement could be made for better precision.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment being 10.9 m from the centerline is slightly off, maintaining a more accurate alignment can greatly enhance the overall landing operation.
Overall, your performance showcases strong piloting skills and a deep understanding of the landing process. By focusing on areas such as speed control, touchdown precision, and runway alignment, you can further elevate your performance and consistently achieve high landing scores. Keep up the excellent work and continue striving for excellence in every landing you execute. Great job!
