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 rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X, registered as N750VY. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 22 at UACC Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport. The takeoff distance was 957 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of -7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead UACC Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,162 feet above sea level to 41,405 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,243 feet in just 20 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 4 miles northwest of Bay, Kazakhstan, and lasted for 29 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 834 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which started 48 miles south of Yeraliyev, Kazakhstan. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 42,162 feet above sea level to 2,443 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,719 feet in just 23 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 131 nautical miles during this time.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Bilajer, Azerbaijan, and lasted for just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Bilajer. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,914 feet above sea level to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 627 feet in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles during this time.
The final approach to runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 178.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 17, which had a length of 3,284 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 108 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 255 meters, and the touchdown speed was 109 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 24 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,098 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,482 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 8°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots blowing from 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 24 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 3,284 meters, at a speed of 109 knots, slightly below the target threshold speed of 108 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 255 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the pilot maintained excellent control, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 678 meters, which is only 21% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing, minimizing the use of the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through challenging weather conditions.
