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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,198 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,000 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at SCIE Carriel Sur Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 2,697 feet, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,031 feet above sea level to 27,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,972 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 64 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 10 miles northwest of SCGB Guadaba Airport Los Sauces. This phase of the flight lasted 94 minutes and covered 432 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 24 miles southwest of SCRC Villa Tapera Airport Rio Cisnes. The descent from 26,517 feet above sea level to 2,954 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,563 feet, took 17 minutes and covered 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at SCBA Balmaceda Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 280.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,241 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 994 feet, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 64 knots, and the touchdown rate was -46 feet per minute, which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 572 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used 1,025 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was successful, with a good landing and a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at SCBA Balmaceda Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.3%.
