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 1,670 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,670 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 690 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The departure was from runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 1,416 meters, covering 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. The local weather at departure was 24°C, with a 17 knot wind coming from 140° resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The enroute climb started over Hapeville, Georgia, with the aircraft climbing from 2,090 feet above sea level to 35,029 feet, an increase of 32,939 feet in 16 minutes, covering 164 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 8 miles northwest of Grimsley, Tennessee, and lasted 29 minutes, covering 843 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 10 miles south of Baudette, Minnesota, with the aircraft descending from 33,029 feet to 2,569 feet, a decrease of 30,460 feet in 14 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles. The landing was on runway 18 at CYWG Winnipeg/James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a runway length of 3,357 meters. The height at threshold was 41 feet above ground level, with a speed of 155 knots.
The touchdown occurred 691 meters from the threshold, at a speed of 149 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) of -295 feet per minute. The local weather at the destination was 3°C, with a 14 knot wind coming from 190°, resulting in a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,593 meters, covering 47% of the runway. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,150 nautical miles, taking 75 minutes, and using 7,189 kilograms of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 87.0%! That is certainly a commendable achievement. Let's analyze the different phases of your landing to see where improvements can be made.
In the Approach Phase, it is clear that you had excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a safe landing. However, it is worth noting that your speed was slightly above target. It is important to ensure that you are closely monitoring your speed during approach to avoid any potential issues during landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while you had a good threshold height, the landing flare was very poor. The flare is a critical part of the landing process as it allows for a smoother touchdown. I would recommend focusing on improving your flare technique to achieve a smoother landing in the future.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was firm and the speed was a little above target. Additionally, the touchdown point being 277 m beyond the touchdown zone indicates that adjustments need to be made to ensure you are landing in the correct area of the runway. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being 13.3 m from the centerline suggests that there may be room for improvement in your alignment during touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was 13.2 m from the centerline. This indicates that there is also room for improvement in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while you achieved a high landing score, there are certain aspects of your landing technique that can be improved upon for even better performance in the future. By focusing on areas such as speed control, flare technique, touchdown point accuracy, and runway alignment, you can work towards achieving even smoother and more precise landings. Keep up the good work and keep striving for excellence in your flying skills.
