Slow down before tight turns
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA40-NG, then departed from runway 19 at Gökçeada Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,319 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 85 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of LTFK Gökçeada, and climbed from an altitude of 1,554 feet above sea level to 9,789 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,235 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Bozcaada and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 9 miles northeast of Bozcaada, and the aircraft descended from 9,895 feet above sea level to 1,632 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,264 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at LTBH Çanakkale Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,581 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 2,353 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 69 knots. The touchdown distance was 201 meters, and the touchdown speed was 65 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -187 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,024 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 40 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LTBH Çanakkale Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,581 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision as it descended onto runway 04, which has a length of 2,353 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at a good 69 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 201 meters. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,024 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrating excellent flying skills and control. The high score of 96.4% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in challenging weather conditions.
