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.
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 9,982 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,003 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Myrtle Beach International Airport, the Vision Jet began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 36, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 97 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,738 feet was 29% of the runway length, a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance in hot and windy conditions, with a temperature of 91°F and a crosswind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Myrtle Beach, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 8,740 feet in just 5 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed as it traversed the southeastern United States. Notably, the climb from 9,005 feet to 16,723 feet in 5 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles was particularly impressive, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. The final level cruise, which lasted 27 minutes and covered 160 nautical miles, was a testament to the aircraft's endurance and fuel efficiency.
As the Vision Jet began its descent into Atlantic City International Airport, it initiated a steep descent from 31,012 feet to 2,515 feet in 21 minutes and covering 92 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13 was executed from the northwest, with the aircraft touching down 594 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 78 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -28 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 3,869 feet was 39% of the runway length, a respectable performance given the windy conditions. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 440 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 687 pounds of fuel, a testament to its efficiency and performance.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 13 at KACY Atlantic City International Airport with a score of 93.5%. The aircraft began its final approach from the north west, heading 118.0° at 4 nm and 1,339 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 62 ft agl being above the target. The threshold speed of 88 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits.
As the Vision Jet made contact with the runway, it touched down 594 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 78 kt. The touchdown rate of -28 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 72 °F and a wind of 11 kt at 330°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The Vision Jet's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 3,869 ft was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Vision Jet demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
