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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,671 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 914 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35 at KAGS Augusta Regional-At-Bush Field, the aircraft used 2,598 ft of runway (32 % of the available length) and lifted off at 134 kt. Ambient temperature was 62 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and no headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of KAGS, where the airplane rose from 1,085 ft asl to 31,490 ft asl, an increase of 30,405 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 70 nm.
The first level cruise began 3 miles south of 9GA9 Deerfield Landing Airport, lasting 68 minutes and extending over 563 nm.
Descent started 1 mile east of Buna, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 31,974 ft asl to 2,004 ft asl, a loss of 29,970 ft in 17 minutes and traversing 97 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, initiating 2 miles east of Hilshire Village, Texas, and lasting 2 minutes while covering 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport was flown from the north-west, on a heading of 134.0°, at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13R, which is 6,671 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 113 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 915 ft down the runway, at a speed of 107 kt and a rate of minus 282 fpm; the touchdown point was 15 ft off the centreline. Weather at the time was 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
The total landing distance measured 2,654 ft, representing 40 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 744 nm, took 107 minutes, and consumed 340 lb of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X entered the final approach to runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. Local conditions were 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 113 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and prepared for touchdown in accordance with the approach parameters.
Touchdown occurred 915 ft down the runway at a speed of 107 kt, both judged good. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 282 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 2,654 ft, representing 40 % of the 6,671-ft runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 96.8 % the landing was strong; refining the threshold speed to meet the target and tightening the descent rate to reduce the minus 282 fpm will further improve precision, while maintaining the current centreline discipline will keep rollout alignment excellent.
