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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, covering less than 1 nm in 4 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the takeoff distance was 1,216 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and liftoff was achieved at 157 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, wind 7 kt from 329°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind component of 7 kt.
Enroute climb commenced 1 mile west of Moreira, with the aircraft climbing from 1,113 ft asl to 22,992 ft asl, an increase of 21,879 ft in 9 minutes while covering 47 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles southwest of Ovar and lasted 13 minutes, during which 88 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile southeast of Nadadouro, descending from 22,423 ft asl to 1,651 ft asl, a decrease of 20,771 ft in 17 minutes and covering 79 nm.
Final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 02 at LPPT, whose length is 3,716 m. Threshold speed was 137 kt, touchdown speed 132 kt, touchdown distance 401 m and touchdown rate minus 187 fpm. Total landing distance was 1,066 m, 29 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 222 nm, required 46 minutes, and used 1,665 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was conducted from the south on a heading of 23.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,295 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft established the required speed of 137 kt, which was judged good, and began the flare. The flare was executed within the expected parameters, leading to a touchdown distance of 401 m from the threshold, which was described as good.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 132 kt, rated good, with a vertical rate of -187 fpm, also rated good. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 1,066 m, representing 29 % of the 3,716 m runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect and the aircraft remained centered on the runway centreline throughout the rollout.
Minor refinements could focus on tightening the touchdown point toward the 300 m aim zone and monitoring the vertical rate to keep it within the optimal range, which would further improve an already excellent 99.5 % score.
