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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,608 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 79 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft Baron G58 from LFPB Paris-Le Bourget Airport to EGMC London Southend Airport was a relatively smooth one.
Taxiing from the parking to the runway at Le Bourget took 8 minutes and covered 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 25 was quick, with a takeoff distance of 628 meters (35% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 113 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was pleasant, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and headwind.
The enroute climb started over Garges-les-Gonesse and saw the aircraft climbing from 1,210 feet above sea level to 11,998 feet above sea level, covering 21 nm in 8 minutes. The subsequent level cruise lasted 41 minutes and covered 125 nm, starting over Fublaines.
The descent began 6 miles west of Audresselles, where the aircraft dropped from 11,994 ft asl to 7,020 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 27 nm. The next level cruise segment started 1 mile southeast of Ash and lasted 4 minutes, covering 14 nm before the descent began again 8 miles north of Herne Bay. This descent saw the aircraft drop from 6,665 ft asl to 1,334 ft asl in 10 minutes, covering 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGMC London Southend Airport was from the northeast, with the aircraft heading at 234.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a slightly fast touchdown speed of 74 knots and a hard touchdown rate of -492 ft/min. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 370 m, which is 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment after landing was very good. Taxiing from the runway to the parking spot took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 212 nm, which took 85 minutes and consumed 71 kg of fuel.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 96.2% is quite impressive and shows that the pilot demonstrated skill and precision during the landing process. The Approach Phase appeared to be particularly strong, with excellent glideslope alignment and a good threshold speed of 78 knots. This indicates that the pilot effectively managed the descent and approach to the runway.
During the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was good, which is a crucial aspect of a successful landing. However, the landing flare could use some improvement, as it was rated as fair. Ensuring a smooth and controlled flare will help to achieve a more gentle touchdown and reduce the likelihood of a hard landing.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was reported as hard at -492 ft/m, indicating a potentially rough landing. Additionally, while the touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly fast, it is still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 77 meters is commendable, showing that the pilot was able to effectively bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
One area that could be improved upon is the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 4.0 meters from the centerline. Ensuring proper alignment with the runway centerline is important for safe and accurate landings.
Overall, this landing performance demonstrates strong skills and technique, with room for improvement in areas such as landing flare and touchdown rate. By addressing these areas, the pilot can strive for even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on refining your landing technique for even better outcomes.
