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 rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 653 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug, in the Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. The climb took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,079 feet above sea level to 33,047 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,968 feet. The distance covered during this period was 79 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile south east of Oldekerk, in the Provincie Groningen, The Netherlands. This phase of the flight lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 11 miles north of Langeoog, in Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 32,999 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,696 feet. The distance covered during this period was 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport was made from the south east, heading 324.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32, which has a length of 2,115 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 336 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 121 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,339 meters, which is 63% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 208 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes. The aircraft used 2,201 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a high score of 99.7%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was deemed good by the evaluators. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was also considered satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing, with the aircraft touching down at 63% of the runway length. The total landing distance of 1,339 meters was considered acceptable, given the runway length of 2,115 meters.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was characterized by a high level of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
