Keep the taxi smooth
Turn speed is limited by lateral load on the tyres and the people in the back, and lateral acceleration goes with the square of speed. On an illustrative 25 m turn radius, 10 kt produces about 0.11 g of side load, while 20 kt produces about 0.43 g. Doubling the speed quadruples the load. That square law is the entire content of the "10 knots in turns" rule, and it tells you why a slightly-too-fast turn feels fine and a moderately-too-fast one throws the cabin crew across the galley.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,463 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,463 ft of the 7,883 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,039 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.95 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Piper PA-24 Comanche taxied from the parking area to runway 07R at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07R, the aircraft used 7,816 ft of runway, representing 77 % of the available length, and lifted off at 72 kt; ambient temperature was 58 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 20°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south of Kersaint-Plabennec, with the airplane ascending from 756 ft asl to 4,516 ft asl, a gain of 3,759 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 11 nm.
Cruise began overhead Hanvec, lasting 37 minutes and extending over a distance of 100 nm.
Descent was initiated about 1 mile west of Saint-Malo-de-Guersac, with altitude decreasing from 4,477 ft asl to 578 ft asl, a loss of 3,899 ft in 5 minutes and a ground track of 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at LFRZ Saint-Nazaire-Montoir Airport involved a descent from 800 ft agl to 47 ft agl over 150 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25, which is 7,883 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 64 kt; touchdown occurred 1,035 ft down the runway at 51 kt and a vertical speed of minus 173 fpm, with alignment described as very good. Local conditions were 63 °F, wind 2 kt from 359°, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
The total landing roll measured 5,115 ft, representing 65 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 127 nm, required 55 (units as provided) and consumed 69 lb of fuel.
The Piper PA-24 Comanche conducted the final approach to runway 25 at LFRZ Saint-Nazaire-Montoir, descending from 800 ft agl to 47 ft agl over 150 seconds while the local temperature was 63 °F, wind 2 kt from 359°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component; the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 64 kt; the aircraft touched down 1,035 ft from the threshold at a good speed of 51 kt and a good vertical rate of minus 173 fpm, with runway touchdown alignment described as very good.
The touchdown phase recorded the same good distance, speed and rate, confirming the very good alignment achieved at the point of contact.
During rollout the total landing distance measured 5,115 ft, representing 65 % of the 7,883 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment remained very good.
With a score of 95.6 % the performance was strong; continue to target the same touchdown point and maintain the very good alignment to preserve the high level of consistency.
