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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,974 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,016 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 09 at KAHN Athens Ben Epps Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,800 feet, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 49°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 90°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Winterville, Georgia, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,745 feet above sea level to 3,176 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,431 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Winterville and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 29 at KMGE Dobbins Air Reserve Base was made from the east, heading 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown point 602 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -30 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 286°, with no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 3,216 feet, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 68 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used 76 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Baron 58P aircraft successfully landed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, navigating a final approach to runway 29 from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at a heading of 287.0°. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a good threshold height and speed of 92 knots upon reaching the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 602 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 79 knots. This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, as the pilot was able to maintain a steady speed and avoid any excessive deceleration. The touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact and no loss of control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 286°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, allowing the pilot to focus on maintaining a stable approach and landing. The total landing distance of 3,216 feet was 32% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process and was able to bring it to a stop in a straight line. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The 98.3% score achieved by the pilot is a reflection of their exceptional flying abilities and attention to detail.
