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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 724 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport in Morocco. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 796 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Rabat-Salé Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from 1,246 feet above sea level to 31,040 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 96 nautical miles and took 30 minutes, with an increase of 29,795 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles southwest of Settat, Morocco. This phase lasted for 77 minutes and covered a distance of 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Playa Blanca in the Canary Islands, Spain. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, with a decrease of 28,638 feet in altitude from 30,780 feet above sea level to 2,142 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 22 miles east of GCLP Gran Canaria Airport in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of GCLB El Berriel Aeroc Airport in Gran Canaria Island. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, with a decrease of 812 feet in altitude from 2,152 feet above sea level to 1,340 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 03R at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 21.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 112 knots. The touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 28 knots. The total landing distance was 1,226 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 600 nautical miles, taking 151 minutes, and the aircraft used 776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 28 knots at 30°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 03R, which has a length of 3,095 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 112 knots. This may be attributed to the pilot's cautious approach, taking into account the crosswind and headwind conditions.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, while the headwind component was significant at 28 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment. The touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the aircraft's speed at touchdown, which was 99 knots.
The touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The total landing distance was 1,226 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise.
