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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,657 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 297 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DR400, then departed from runway 23 at MTCH Cap Haitien International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 257 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 50 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northeast of Plaine du Nord, Haiti, and ascended from an altitude of 947 feet above sea level to 2,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,028 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of Okap, Haiti, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northeast of Okap, Haiti, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,057 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,732 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at MTCH Cap Haitien International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 231.0°, at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 294 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 44 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of departure. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.0 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The DR400 aircraft successfully landed at MTCH Cap Haitien International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 231.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 57 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 294 meters, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight issue with the runway touchdown position, as it was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively calm. The total landing distance of 406 meters was within 15% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off, deviating by 11.0 meters from the centreline. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the DR400 aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a high score of 93.2%.
