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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,741 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 207 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBTR Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 745 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 359°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from KBTR, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 459 feet above sea level to 19,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,553 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles east of Osyka, Mississippi, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles southeast of Pine Hill, Alabama, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 19,010 feet above sea level to 2,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,008 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started overhead KMGM Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport in Montgomery, Alabama, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at KMGM was made from the east, with a heading of 276.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 206 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 93 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 698 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 312 nautical miles, and the flight used 174 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at KMGM Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 94 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 206 meters. The touchdown speed of 93 knots was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.6 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 698 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which could be addressed in future training or practice sessions.
