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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,111 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 403 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 area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 33 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport. The takeoff distance was 475 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 79 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead North Syracuse, New York, where the aircraft ascended from 1,408 feet above sea level to 18,298 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,891 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles northwest of Ontario, New York, and lasted for 100 minutes, covering a distance of 203 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles east of Petrolia, Ontario, Canada, where it descended from 18,222 feet above sea level to 1,873 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,349 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at CYQG Windsor Airport was made from the northeast, heading 243.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 403 meters and a touchdown speed of 84 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total flight distance was 317 nautical miles, taking a total of 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 198 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Baron 58P aircraft successfully landed at CYQG Windsor Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 243.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,111 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 96 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance.
The touchdown distance of 403 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 84 kt was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any significant shock or jolt.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft is stable and able to come to a stop safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported as follows: the temperature was 8°C, and the wind was blowing at 4 kt from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
