Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,622 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, where it began its journey on runway 25R. The aircraft accelerated down the 4,754-foot runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions were hot, with a temperature of 106 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Phoenix, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 28,625 feet in 13 minutes and covering 77 nautical miles. The climb was a steady ascent, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent rate of climb. Once at cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, flying for 47 minutes and covering 370 nautical miles. The flight then began its descent, starting 5 miles east of Central Colorado Regional Airport, and continued to descend until it reached an altitude of 12,786 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying for 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent.
The aircraft continued its descent, eventually landing on runway 17R at Denver International Airport. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots and a touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The total landing distance was 4,077 feet, which was 34% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 591 nautical miles, and the flight used 24,292 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 181.0° from 4 nautical miles north at 1,287 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 118 knots was good, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 248 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which, although slightly beyond the ideal, was still within a safe margin.
The touchdown speed of 115 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 43°F and a 6-knot headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further aided the pilot's ability to maintain alignment.
The total landing distance of 4,077 feet was 34% of the runway length, which is well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with a score of 100.0% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
