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 1,975 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 335 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at CBA9 Ospika Airport. The aircraft, an OV-10 Bronco, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 82 kt, covering a distance of 378 m, which was 22% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 2,608 ft above sea level to a maximum altitude of 4,043 ft, an increase of 1,435 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nm. This rapid climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nm, taking the aircraft 3 miles south west of CBA9 Ospika Airport.
The enroute level cruise was interrupted by a descent, which began 6 miles west of CYNH Hudson's Hope Airport. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,182 ft to 1,788 ft, a decrease of 2,393 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nm, taking the aircraft 8 miles south west of CYNH Hudson's Hope Airport.
The flight then entered a climb phase, which began 4 miles south west of CYNH Hudson's Hope Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,938 ft to 3,821 ft, an increase of 1,883 ft in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. This climb was followed by another level cruise, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nm, taking the aircraft 3 miles north east of CYNH Hudson's Hope Airport.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, it began a descent from an altitude of 3,956 ft to 3,147 ft, a decrease of 808 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. The final approach to runway 21 at CYXJ Fort St John / North Peace Regional Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 228.0° at an altitude of 883 ft above ground level and 2 nm from the runway.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 94 kt and a distance of 336 m, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -298 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 270°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 162 nm, and the flight duration was 44 minutes, during which the aircraft used 271 kg of fuel.
The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at CYXJ Fort St John / North Peace Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, heading 228.0° at 2 nautical miles and 883 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a precise approach, with a touchdown distance of 336 meters, which is considered good.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 94 knots, which is slightly above the target speed. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 952 meters, which accounts for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the OV-10 Bronco aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control.
