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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a quick 2-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KGTF Great Falls Intl. The departure roll on runway 21 covered 760 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 109 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 19°C with a wind of 11 knots coming from 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of KGTF Great Falls Intl, climbing from 4,706 feet above sea level to 17,162 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 miles. The level cruise portion of the flight began 2 miles east of MT49 Ford's South Lolo and lasted 14 minutes, covering 79 miles.
Another enroute climb took place 2 miles southwest of KHVR Havre City-County Havre, climbing from 18,110 feet above sea level to 27,213 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering 19 miles. The subsequent level cruise segment began 14 miles northeast of Havre and lasted 2 minutes, covering 12 miles.
A final enroute climb occurred 20 miles north of S71 Obie Chinook, climbing from 28,222 feet above sea level to 29,273 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering 12 miles. The following level cruise segment began 22 miles west of CJM5 Frontier Frontier and lasted 16 minutes, covering 94 miles.
The descent phase of the flight commenced 5 miles east of CYYN Swift Current, descending from 29,262 feet above sea level to 3,487 feet above sea level in 25 minutes, covering 108 miles. The landing was on runway 33 at CYXE Saskatoon/Diefenbaker Intl, with the aircraft touching down 276 meters from the threshold at a speed of 83 knots. The total landing distance was 545 meters, which was 29% of the runway length.
After landing, there was a 3-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area. The total flight distance covered was 346 miles, and the flight lasted 84 minutes. The fuel used for the flight was 443 kilograms.
Congratulations on achieving an exceptional aircraft landing score of 99.8%! This impressive score is a result of the pilot's proficiency in each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, the pilot demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, ensuring a smooth transition from descent to landing. This precision in maintaining the correct path towards the runway is critical for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the pilot managed to maintain a good threshold height, allowing for a well-controlled descent towards the runway. Additionally, the perfect landing flare indicates that the pilot accurately timed the flare maneuver to reduce the rate of descent before touchdown, leading to a smooth and safe landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the pilot showcased proficiency in landing technique with a good touchdown rate and on-target speed. The touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone indicates the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway, while the touchdown position 2.7 meters from the centerline shows precise lateral control.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, the pilot maintained very good runway alignment, ensuring a straight and steady rollout after touchdown. This phase is crucial for bringing the aircraft to a complete stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, this outstanding landing score reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in every phase of the landing process. Keep up the excellent work and continue to strive for perfection in every flight. Well done!
