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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KCPS St Louis Downtown Airport took 34 minutes and covered 19 nautical miles. The aircraft, Black Square Starship N786BP, then began its departure roll on runway 30R, utilizing 737 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 96 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 5 knots at 209 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Cahokia, Illinois, ascending from 1,421 feet above sea level to 12,428 feet in 10 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a 17-minute level cruise 3 miles northwest of St Charles, Illinois, during which the aircraft covered 89 nautical miles. The flight then entered a second climb phase, this time from 2 miles southwest of Sky Ranch II, Missouri, where it ascended from 12,836 feet to 26,542 feet in 11 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises and climbs, eventually beginning its descent 4 miles east of Cherry Valley, Arkansas, where it descended from 29,288 feet to 2,563 feet in 13 minutes, covering 69 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at KMEM Memphis International Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 84 knots and a distance of 352 meters. The total landing distance was 827 meters, or 29% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 388 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 86 minutes and a fuel consumption of 558 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 18R at KMEM Memphis International Airport was executed from the north, with the aircraft Black Square Starship N786BP descending from 1,273 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 179.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway threshold at a speed of 93 knots, slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 352 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 84 knots was also satisfactory.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute, which was considered fair. However, the overall performance was impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a headwind of 7 knots, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further facilitated a stable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 827 meters was only 29% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of control and precision. Overall, the landing performance of Black Square Starship N786BP was exceptional, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the high standards achieved.
