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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,908 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,297 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBNA Nashville International Airport, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 20C, with a takeoff distance of 1,278 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 85 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nashville International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 61°F temperature and a 1-knot wind at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was zero. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and reached an altitude of 9,830 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,330 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles southeast of the TN32 Loudon Justice Center Heliport. This cruise phase lasted 38 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south of Somerville, and descended from 9,995 feet to 7,583 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,412 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of the 9TN3 Mehrhoff Field Rossville, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The descent phase started 1 mile northeast of Collierville, and the aircraft descended from 7,672 feet to 1,495 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,176 feet in 4 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KMEM Memphis International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,230 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 59°F temperature and a 1-knot wind at 270°, with a negligible crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 3,215 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 174 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at KMEM Memphis International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,230 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 81 knots, registering at 71 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,294 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not impact the landing. The total landing distance of 3,215 feet was 36% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in maintaining control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at KMEM Memphis International Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
