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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,708 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,875 ft 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 34 at the Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR). The takeoff distance was 2,648 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 225°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Corfu in the Ionian Islands, Greece. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,062 feet above sea level to 35,168 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 7 miles east of Otranto in Puglia, Italy. This phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 528 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 19 miles south of Bordighera in Liguria, Italy. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 35,154 feet to 4,749 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 21 miles south east of Ramatuelle in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 7 miles south of Theoule-sur-Mer in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 4,355 feet to 1,277 feet.
The final approach to runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 9,708 feet. The touchdown point was 481 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 329°. The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,875 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway.
The total flight distance was 675 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 1,434 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 118 knots. The touchdown point was located 481 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 100 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments during future approaches. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 329°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,875 feet was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing performance of FFX P180 03 01 was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. However, the aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and a good runway rollout alignment suggests that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's handling characteristics are well-suited for the demands of landing at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport.
