Improve the 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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,083 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 990 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC) in Kansas City, Missouri, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 19, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 135 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,953 feet represented 31% of the available runway length, with a headwind component of 12 knots contributing to the aircraft's performance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Kansas City, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,428 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 29,999 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 28,572 feet. Following a brief level cruise of 3 minutes and 27 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent 7 miles west of Eskridge, Kansas, descending from 30,005 feet to 2,372 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 187.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 961 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a touchdown distance of 999 feet, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target value, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -326 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 16 feet from the centerline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 44 minutes and consuming 3 pounds of fuel. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 961 ft above ground level, heading 187.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 66 ft above ground level, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 142 kt was significantly higher than the target, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 135 kt, which was too fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -326 fpm. The touchdown distance of 999 ft was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 2 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 82 °F and a headwind of 20 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,173 ft was 52% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 91.9%.
