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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,086 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 33 at CYXS Prince George Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,012 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -15 °C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 349°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYXS Prince George Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,244 feet above sea level to 22,956 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,712 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 28 miles southwest of Tumbler Ridge, lasting 9 minutes and covering 64 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 12 miles west of CDC3 Flying L Ranch Airport Dawson Creek, where the aircraft descended from 23,019 feet above sea level to 4,039 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,981 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 10 miles southeast of CYXJ Fort St John / North Peace Regional Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at CYXJ Fort St John / North Peace Regional Airport was made from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 361 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -20 °C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 0°, no crosswind, and no headwind.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 167 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 1,427 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at CYXJ Fort St John / North Peace Regional Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, aligning with the heading of 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, touching down on the runway with a speed of 116 knots, which was well within the threshold speed requirements. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute was smooth, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of -20°C and a wind speed of 0 knots. This lack of wind allowed the aircraft to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a critical aspect of a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its stability and control throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance of 956 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities.
