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 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 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 to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 17 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa. The takeoff distance was 795 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Kamez in Tirana, Albania. The climb took 20 minutes and covered 33 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,149 feet above sea level to 24,120 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,971 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles southwest of Kavaje in Tirana, Albania. This phase lasted for 116 minutes and covered 370 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles southeast of Giglio Porto in Toscana, Italy. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 58 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 24,075 feet above sea level to 4,908 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,167 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of Santa-Lucia-di-Moriani in Corse, France. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles southeast of San-Giuliano in Corse, France. The descent took 5 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 4,907 feet above sea level to 1,312 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,595 feet.
The final approach to runway 34 at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 343.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 2,539 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 103 knots. The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 85 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 355 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 921 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 177 minutes. The aircraft used 352 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 414A aircraft successfully landed at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 34, which has a length of 2,539 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 103 knots. The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 85 knots was a bit fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 355°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 921 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and aligned it with the centerline of the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft.
