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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,988 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Britten Norman Maritime Defender, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 469 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Heikendorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. From an initial altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level, the aircraft climbed to 4,272 feet, an increase of 3,261 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at this time were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 90°.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Krokau, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 4,760 feet to 7,393 feet, an increase of 2,633 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft continued its enroute level cruise, starting 3 miles north of Behrensdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasting for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent from 7,062 feet to 3,065 feet, a decrease of 3,998 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Fehmarn, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasting for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 14 miles south of Loederup, Skane County, Sweden, and descending from 2,993 feet to 2,497 feet, a decrease of 495 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, starting 15 miles south of Loederup, Skane County, Sweden, and lasting for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at EKRN Bornholm Airport was made from the west, heading 118.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 191 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 771 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 172 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 84 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft successfully landed at EKRN Bornholm Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 118.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 72 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 191 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still within an acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was also deemed good, and the touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The runway length at EKRN Bornholm Airport is 1,988 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance of 771 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing, with minimal loss of speed and altitude during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and level path after touchdown, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
Overall, the landing of the Britten Norman Maritime Defender at EKRN Bornholm Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent handling and control during the approach and landing phases.
