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 3,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 494 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 smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFLL Saint Exupery, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes. The departure roll on runway 17R was quick, with a takeoff distance of 668 m, which was 17% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 112 kn, and the local weather conditions showed a temperature of 20°C with a 14 kn wind coming from 160°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 14 kn.
Once in the air, the enroute climb began 1 mile west of Satolas-et-Bonce, climbing from 1,809 ft asl to 25,191 ft asl in just 12 minutes, covering 38 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase started overhead Saint-Jeoire-Prieure and lasted 85 minutes, covering 465 nm.
The descent part of the flight started 2 miles south-west of Milna, descending from 24,853 ft asl to 18,467 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 34 nm. Another short level cruise section began 4 miles north of Viganj, lasting 4 minutes and covering 20 nm, before descending from 18,473 ft asl to 4,032 ft asl 4 miles west of Neum in 13 minutes, covering 36 nm.
The final level cruise segment commenced 7 miles south-west of Cavtat, lasting 6 minutes and covering 11 nm, before the aircraft prepared for landing on runway 29 at LDDU Cilipi. The runway length was 3,142 m, and the touchdown was achieved 494 m from the threshold at a speed of 82 kn and a VSI of -82 ft/m. The total landing distance was 623 m, which was 20% of the runway length. The local weather at landing showed a temperature of 20°C with a 5 kn wind coming from 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 5 kn.
After a successful landing, the taxi back to the parking area took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 614 nm and the flight lasted 149 minutes, burning 801 kg of fuel in the process.
Congratulations on achieving a perfect landing score of 100.0%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent. This means that you were able to maintain the correct descent angle, setting you up for a smooth landing. This is a crucial aspect of landing an aircraft safely, and your precision in this phase paid off.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated good control over the threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. The landing flare is a key maneuver that helps absorb the aircraft's vertical speed and ensures a gentle touchdown. Your ability to perform this maneuver flawlessly shows your skill and proficiency as a pilot.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent and your speed was on target. Additionally, landing 59m beyond the touchdown zone indicates that you were able to judge the landing point accurately and adjust your approach accordingly. This shows great situational awareness and precise control over the aircraft during a critical phase of the landing process. The runway touchdown position being very good further highlights your ability to land the aircraft accurately.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good. Maintaining alignment with the runway during rollout is important for safe taxiing and exiting the runway. Your attention to detail in this phase ensured a smooth transition from landing to taxiing.
Overall, your performance in all phases of the landing process was exceptional, showcasing your proficiency as a pilot. Keep up the great work and continue honing your skills to maintain this level of precision and excellence in all your future flights. Well done!
