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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,011 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,327 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at the Greenwood–Leflore Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 36 and took off with a takeoff distance of 1,393 feet, which was 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 60°F and a wind of 1 knot at 270°. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport and reached an altitude of 7,769 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,601 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 6 miles north of the Henderson Airport. This cruise lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles northwest of Crowder, and descended from 7,993 feet to 3,071 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,921 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of the Arnold Field Tunica Airport and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile west of the Delta Flying Service Inc Airport Walls, and the aircraft descended from 2,586 feet to 1,793 feet above sea level, a decrease of 792 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 4 miles north of the Delta Flying Service Inc Airport Walls and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at the West Memphis Municipal Airport was made from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,338 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,319 feet and a touchdown speed of 71 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot at 270°.
The total landing distance was 3,313 feet, which was 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 98 nautical miles, and the flight used 62 pounds of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at KAWM West Memphis Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, ultimately landing on runway 35, which has a length of 6,011 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 1,319 feet. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 3,313 feet, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at KAWM West Memphis Municipal Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position was the only notable deviation from ideal performance, but it did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing.
