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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,103 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 299°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Moreira, Distrito do Porto, Portugal, at an altitude of 1,141 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 19,044 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,903 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile west of Mosteiro, Distrito de Aveiro, Portugal, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles east of Pombal, Distrito de Leiria, Portugal, and involved a descent from 19,046 feet above sea level to 1,609 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,437 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) was made from the north, heading 203.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 413 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 220°.
The total landing distance was 1,323 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 157 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 2,131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) on runway 20, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot decision. The touchdown distance of 413 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 138 kt, the aircraft maintained a fair touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilots were able to manage the descent and touchdown smoothly, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 6 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. The total landing distance of 1,323 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.7%.
