Slow down before tight turns
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 1,751 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,751 m of the 2,842 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 1,499 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KATL and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,068 feet above sea level to 25,132 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,064 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles northwest of the Antique Acres Airport (GA59) in Barnesville, Georgia. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles south of Jeffersonville, Georgia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 25,131 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,835 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,842 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 331 meters, and the touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,670 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 197 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 2,010 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, coming in at 151 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 331 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -135 feet per minute. This indicates that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of damage or loss of control.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. However, the pilot's skills and experience likely compensated for any potential issues related to the weather.
The total landing distance of 1,670 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was within acceptable limits.
