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 10,767 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,910 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at EGPC Wick Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 13, taking off with a distance of 1,147 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 42°F temperature and winds of 19 knots at 99 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Wick, where the aircraft climbed from 973 feet above sea level to 17,389 feet, an increase of 16,417 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles east of EGPA Kirkwall Airport, lasting 13 minutes and covering 169 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 77 miles west of Langevag, Norway, where it climbed from 18,295 feet to 21,168 feet, an increase of 2,873 feet in 2 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 39 miles west of Bekkjarvik, Norway, lasting 26 minutes and covering 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles north of Ransta, Sweden, descending from 21,254 feet to 4,592 feet, a decrease of 16,662 feet in 9 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles south of Gunsta, Sweden, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent 5 miles south of Laenna, Sweden, descending from 4,084 feet to 2,247 feet, a decrease of 1,836 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the north, heading 190.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 815 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 70 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°F temperature and winds of 3 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,259 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 671 nautical miles, taking 85 minutes and using 1,327 pounds of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 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 28°F, with a wind speed of 3 knots from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 98 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 815 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 70 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The total landing distance was 3,259 feet, which is 30% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 95.1% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently in a variety of weather conditions.
