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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,352 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 33 at SDIM Itanhaém Airport. The takeoff distance was 726 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 111 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 142 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, with the aircraft ascending from 1,091 feet above sea level to 1,722 feet in less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33 at SDIM Itanhaém Airport was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 303.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 358 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 340 meters and a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 136 degrees.
The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 826 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and lasted for 7 minutes, consuming 42 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient operation, with minimal deviations from the ideal flight path.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at SDIM Itanhaém Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 303.0° at 1 nautical mile and 358 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 33, which has a length of 1,352 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 118 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 340 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was somewhat fast, but the touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 136°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 826 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and stable path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 96.3%.
