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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 359 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Groningen Airport Eelde, EHGG, commenced with a departure roll on runway 23. The aircraft, a Sierra C24R, accelerated down the 527-meter runway, utilizing only 21% of its available length, before lifting off at a speed of 74 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 378 feet above sea level to 1,006 feet, a gain of 629 feet in just one minute. This initial climb was followed by a brief level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for two minutes while covering a distance of three nautical miles. The enroute climb phase resumed 1 mile east of Zeyen, with the aircraft ascending from 956 feet to 3,538 feet in five minutes, a gain of 2,582 feet. This climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, lasting 38 minutes and covering 81 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards Rotterdam The Hague Airport, EHRD.
The final approach to runway 24 at EHRD was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 238.0° at 1 nautical mile and 278 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 58 knots, a touchdown distance of 358 meters, and a touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute, all of which were within acceptable limits. The total landing distance was 1,101 meters, representing 55% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in three minutes, covering a distance of 1.06 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 227 nautical miles, with a flight time of 63 minutes and a fuel consumption of 0 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 24 at EHRD Rotterdam The Hague Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft Sierra C24R maintaining a heading of 238.0° at 1 nm and 278 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 70 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 58 kt, with a touchdown distance of 358 m, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -96 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further reducing the challenges associated with the landing.
The rollout phase was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,101 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was within the expected parameters. Overall, the landing was scored 96.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
