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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 130 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 04 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the DHC-2 Beaver took off with a takeoff distance of 346 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Metz-Tessy, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, from an altitude of 2,147 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, with an increase of 1,255 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, starting overhead Menthon-Saint-Bernard, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.
The final approach to landing began overhead Menthon-Saint-Bernard, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 89 feet above ground level to 0 feet agl. The descent was rapid, with a decrease of 45 feet in just 3 seconds. The aircraft then touched down, but at a speed of 73 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was also heavy, at -636 feet per minute, but the touchdown distance was good, measuring 127 meters.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, covering a distance of 275 meters and reaching an altitude of 1,459 feet above sea level. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 14 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 0 knots.
The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at Menthon-Saint-Bernard in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, with a score of 92.5%. The final approach to landing began at an altitude of 89 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the landing site. As the aircraft descended, it maintained a steady altitude of 45 feet agl before touching down.
The descent from 45 feet agl to 0 feet agl occurred in a remarkably short period of 3 seconds, indicating a steep and controlled rate of descent. However, the touchdown speed of 73 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -636 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 127 meters was deemed good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. The aircraft's ability to navigate these conditions and maintain control during the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 1,459 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was 275 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
