Monitor your taxi speed
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 180 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26R at Harry Reid International Airport, KLAS. The takeoff distance was 1,792 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Paradise, Nevada, and involved a significant ascent from 3,212 feet above sea level to 35,742 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,530 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles northeast of L37 Grand Canyon Caverns Airport Peach Springs, Arizona. This phase lasted for 118 minutes and covered a distance of 972 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles northeast of Hector, Arkansas. The descent involved a decrease of 34,279 feet in altitude from 35,850 feet above sea level to 1,571 feet above sea level in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18L at Memphis International Airport, KMEM, was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18L was successful, with a runway length of 2,748 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was 183 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,238 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, covering a total distance of 1,240 nautical miles in 187 minutes. The aircraft used 7,060 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMEM Memphis International Airport on runway 18L, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 139 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was slightly higher than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 183 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. This is not necessarily a cause for concern, as a firm touchdown rate can be beneficial in terms of reducing the risk of wheel damage and improving braking performance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a straight and level approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,238 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the braking phase and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, and the pilots were able to execute a safe and successful landing.
