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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,348 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,648 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 87 knots, and the aircraft began its ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 7,385 feet above sea level to 8,309 feet, an increase of 924 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered another 3 nautical miles, as it flew 2 miles northeast of Gypsum, Colorado.
The final approach to runway 07 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport began from the west, with the aircraft heading at 83.0 degrees, 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 436 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 1,349 feet, which was 27% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 72 knots, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 9 knots from 110 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, took 11 minutes to complete, and used 9 pounds of fuel. The flight was a smooth and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at 1 nautical mile and 436 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 41°F, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained excellent control, ensuring a smooth and stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway at a speed of 72 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 1,349 feet was well within acceptable limits. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent rate was impressive, with a perfect touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 2,149 feet was only 27% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's capabilities.
