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 2,199 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 273 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 06 at TNCE F. D. Roosevelt Airport. The takeoff distance was 448 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of TNCE F. D. Roosevelt Airport Sint Eustatius. The climb took 1 minute and covered 1 nautical mile, with an increase in altitude from 1,033 feet above sea level to 2,047 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,014 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of TNCE F. D. Roosevelt Airport Sint Eustatius. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at TKPK Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 54.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 823 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 273 meters, which was 21% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 73 knots, which was slightly fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 62 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 48 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at TKPK Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 823 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,199 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 87 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 273 meters. The touchdown speed of 73 knots was somewhat fast, but the touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 62°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which contributed to a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance of 456 meters was only 21% of the runway length, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite a few minor deviations from ideal conditions.
