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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,904 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond 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 24 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 01 at KTEB Teterboro Airport, with a takeoff distance of 542 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a 2-knot headwind at 10°. The enroute climb started overhead KTEB Teterboro Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,008 feet above sea level to 20,298 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,290 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Linden, New Jersey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,410 feet above sea level to 21,976 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,565 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued for 81 minutes, covering 381 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over NJ72 Hop Brook Farm Airport Holmdel. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles east of Wallace, North Carolina, where it descended from 21,808 feet above sea level to 10,816 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,992 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 2 miles north of 33NC Pettigrew Moore Aerodrome Wilmington, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 3 miles south east of NC43 Bear Pen Airport Supply, where it descended from 10,815 feet above sea level to 2,434 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,382 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued for 9 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over Ocean Isle Beach. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 17 miles south east of Surfside Beach, South Carolina, where it descended from 2,462 feet above sea level to 1,481 feet above sea level, a decrease of 982 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport was made from the south, heading 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,439 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which was 2,904 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was too high at 100 knots.
The touchdown point was 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 80 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 340°.
The total landing distance was 1,304 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 527 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 464 kilograms.
The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at Myrtle Beach International Airport (KMYR) on runway 36. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a score of 92.6%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 262 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 80 knots was a bit higher than the ideal speed, contributing to the slightly off-target touchdown point. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating 5.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,304 meters, which is approximately 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the PC-12 at KMYR was satisfactory, with a score of 92.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed, the pilot's overall performance was commendable, particularly in terms of the smooth touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment.
