Improve the taxi
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,832 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,663 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Simón Bolívar International Airport, the Vision Jet began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 5 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 09, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 95 kt, clearing the ground in 1,862 ft, which was 20% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 81 °F and a gentle headwind of 9 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to 31,009 ft, it covered a distance of 89 nm in 27 minutes, achieving an impressive increase of 29,967 ft. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 56-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered 264 nm. The crew then initiated a descent, reducing the altitude from 30,431 ft to 23,319 ft in just 5 minutes, while covering 22 nm. This was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 45 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reduce its altitude from 23,319 ft to 2,010 ft in 19 minutes, covering 67 nm.
As the Vision Jet approached Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 10 from the west, maintaining a heading of 80.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,250 ft agl. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 220 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 67 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -59 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 3,735 ft, which was 41% of the runway's length. After a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop in just 3 minutes, having completed a total flight distance of 458 nm and using 801 lbs of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 10 at TFFF Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 80.0° at 4 nm and 1,250 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 86 kt, which was well within the target range. The threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above the target, but this did not impact the overall performance of the landing.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it did so at a speed of 67 kt, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -59 fpm, which was excellent. The touchdown point was 220 ft beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a wind of 8 kt at 60°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 3,735 ft was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.8%.
