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 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 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 14 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 03 at Heber City Municipal Airport (36U) and took off with a takeoff distance of 717 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 225 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Heber City, Utah, and the aircraft climbed from 6,660 feet above sea level to 39,688 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,028 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles northwest of Bear River, Wyoming, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 6 miles west of Cokeville, Wyoming, and the aircraft descended from 39,672 feet above sea level to 7,679 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,993 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Jackson Hole Airport (KJAC) was made from the south, heading 20.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 294 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, and the touchdown rate was -164 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 784 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 190 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 640 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 20.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 01.
The runway at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport has a length of 1,923 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft to land. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 103 knots was also well within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 294 meters and a speed of 94 knots. The touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot had maintained precise control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were challenging, with a temperature of -19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 20°. However, the pilot successfully managed the crosswind and headwind components, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. This demonstrates the pilot's ability to adapt to changing weather conditions and maintain control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 784 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showing that the pilot had maintained precise control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
