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.
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 10,504 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 822 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGKF Kefallinia Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 14, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,730 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 228°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. As the aircraft took to the skies, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LGKF Kefallinia Airport on Kefallinia Island in the Ionian Islands, Greece. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,081 feet above sea level to 22,633 feet, an increase of 21,553 feet in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which began 4 miles northwest of Ithaki in the Ionian Islands, Greece. This phase of the flight lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of LGP1 ARGOS ARGOS in the Peloponnese, Greece. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 22,589 feet to 2,983 feet, a decrease of 19,605 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which began 3 miles south of Vouliagmeni in Attica, Greece. This phase of the flight lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Vari in Attica, Greece. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,941 feet to 1,542 feet, a decrease of 1,399 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 03L, which had a length of 10,504 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 71 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 815 feet, and the touchdown speed was 61 knots, which was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was excellent at -99 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 27 feet. The total landing distance was 4,020 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 28 feet.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 192 nautical miles, which was covered in 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 495 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 03L, which has a length of 10,504 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 71 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 815 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 61 knots was well within the recommended range. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -99 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway.
However, there were a couple of minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 59°F. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating its ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing in a variety of conditions.
