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.

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 3,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 255 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at SLSU Juana Azurduy De Padilla Airport. The TBM 850 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 665 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of SLSU Juana Azurduy De Padilla Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 9,831 feet above sea level and reached 11,534 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase 16 miles north of SLSU Juana Azurduy De Padilla Airport, this time from 12,012 feet to 12,995 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a prolonged level cruise phase, which lasted 13 minutes and covered a significant distance of 55 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 12 miles east of SLAM Arampampa Airport Gral. Ballivian. The descent from 13,005 feet to 12,266 feet in 2 minutes covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, as it flew over Tarata in the Departamento de Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Tarata, with the aircraft descending from 11,876 feet to 9,604 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32 at SLCB Jorge Wilsterman International Airport, flying from the south east at a heading of 312.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 70 knots and a distance of 252 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.8 meters.
The total landing distance was 408 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.8 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, taking 31 minutes to complete, and used 137 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at SLCB Jorge Wilsterman International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 312.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 32, which has a length of 3,400 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target at 75 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown distance of 252 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, being off by 12.8 meters. This slight misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout alignment. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 408 meters was only 12% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
