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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 679 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 679 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 205 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft Bonanza A36 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at LOKL Lienz-Nikolsdorf Airfield in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft used 565 m of runway, representing 83 % of the available length, and lifted off at 87 kt; ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 161°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The approach began with a left-hand pattern entry from runway 30, flying less than 1 nm in 79 seconds, followed by a left-hand cross-wind segment of less than 1 nm in 12 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm with a 45° heading change of 3.6°, after which the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 90 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 1 nm with a 45° heading change of 177.2° before final alignment for landing.
Landing was executed on runway 30, whose length is 679 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 80 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 198 m down the runway at 69 kt with a descent rate of minus 75 fpm, and alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 160°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 371 m, equivalent to 55 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, traversing 5 nm.
In total, the flight covered 12 nm, required 14 (units as given) and consumed 7 kg of fuel.
The aircraft crossed the threshold of runway 30 at LOKL Lienz-Nikolsdorf Airfield with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 80 kt, which was well above the target; ambient temperature was 22 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 160°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 198 m down the runway at a speed of 69 kt, noted as a little fast, while the vertical rate of descent was excellent at minus 75 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft completed the roll-out after traveling a total landing distance of 371 m, representing 55 % of the 679 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
Reduce the threshold speed to the intended target and trim the touchdown speed slightly below 69 kt to bring the approach and landing fully within the optimal envelope, which will further tighten the already high 99.2 % score.
