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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,828 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Essex County Airport, KCDW. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 510 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Fairfield, New Jersey, and ascending from 1,301 feet above sea level to 570 feet above sea level, an increase of 732 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Morristown Municipal Airport, KMMU, was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 224.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 372 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 317 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then successfully landed on runway 23 at KMMU, with a runway length of 1,828 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -287 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 359 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The total landing distance was 735 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 51 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 224.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 372 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 23, which has a length of 1,828 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly overestimated the required distance to touch down. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was also a bit higher than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions ideal. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach.
The total landing distance of 735 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 96.6%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and distance, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
