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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,159 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 112 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 area to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06 at VRDA Maafaru International Airport. The takeoff distance was 783 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 314 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Maafaru in the Noonu Atoll, Maldives. The climb took 43 minutes and covered a distance of 295 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,054 feet above sea level to 38,429 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,375 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile east of Thenkasi in the State of Tamil Nadu, India. This phase lasted for 164 minutes and covered a distance of 1,094 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 3 miles east of Jessore in the Khulna Division, Bangladesh. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,861 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,558 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at VEAT Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 184.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 2,159 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 113 meters. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 582 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,514 nautical miles, which was covered in 219 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,601 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at VEAT Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 184.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 113 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 120 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control and precision during the landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.6 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was minimal at 1 knot, but still present. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 130°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 582 meters was within 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight deviation from the centerline and the fair touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute are areas for improvement.
