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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m 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 26 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport. The takeoff distance was 292 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 31°, a crosswind of 9 knots, and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDV Hannover Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,197 feet above sea level to 6,615 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,418 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles west of Burgdorf, lasting for 22 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south east of Steimbke. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,799 feet above sea level to 4,333 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,467 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 1 mile north of Stockse, lasting for 11 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles south east of Stockse. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,916 feet above sea level to 3,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 885 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 4 miles south east of Linsburg, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 1 mile south of Neustadt am Ruebenberge. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,626 feet above sea level to 1,549 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,077 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport then began from the west, with the aircraft heading at 92.0° at an altitude of 1,366 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09L was characterized by a touchdown point that was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 82 knots, which was slightly too fast, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at 4 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,013 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 59 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes to complete, and used 23 kilograms of fuel.
The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,366 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 09L, which has a length of 3,189 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to improve the landing by reducing the speed before touchdown. The touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve the accuracy of the landing by making adjustments to the approach.
The touchdown speed of 82 knots was also reported as too fast, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, being 3.9 meters off the centerline. The touchdown rate, however, was perfect at 4 feet per minute, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 31°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they do not appear to have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,013 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve the accuracy of the landing by making adjustments to the approach.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the accuracy of the landing.
