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 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LTAI Antalya International Airport took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Honda HA420 then began its departure roll on runway 36R, utilizing 48% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,635 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 131 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 25 °C and wind speeds of 15 knots at 130°.
As the aircraft climbed from 964 feet above sea level to 42,867 feet, it covered a distance of 110 nautical miles in 25 minutes, achieving an impressive increase of 41,904 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 7 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards its next destination. The descent phase, which spanned 21 minutes and covered 114 nautical miles, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 43,005 feet to 5,006 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles, before commencing its final descent towards LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.
The final approach to runway 24R was executed from the north east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 243.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,482 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 89 knots and a touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 279 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 973 meters, accounting for 33% of the available runway length. The aircraft then rolled out perfectly, aligning itself with the runway centerline. The total flight distance was 313 nautical miles, covering a duration of 76 minutes and utilizing 469 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 24R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 243.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,482 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 100 knots, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown distance of 279 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 89 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute was within the desired parameters, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the approach procedure. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind of 16 knots at 270°, were not particularly challenging. The crosswind component of 7 knots and the headwind component of 15 knots were well within the acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 973 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was reasonable.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centreline. The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 99.1%. The pilot's skill and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
