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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 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 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR 72 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at Grantley Adams International Airport, a movement that required 8 minutes and covered 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 645 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and lifted off at 119 kt; ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 19 kt from 080°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 19 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead the airport, with the airplane climbing from 1,180 ft asl to 14,498 ft asl, an altitude gain of 13,318 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 53 nm.
Level cruise began 43 miles south-west of Bridgetown (Saint Michael, Barbados) and persisted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 67 nm.
Descent started 17 miles south-east of Hillsborough (Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Grenada), descending from 14,537 ft asl to 924 ft asl, a loss of 13,613 ft in 11 minutes and covering 46 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 93.0°, intercepting the glide path at 3 nm and 882 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10 was performed with a runway length of 2,733 m; the threshold speed was well above target at 116 kt, touchdown occurred at 458 m down the runway with a speed of 105 kt, and the aircraft achieved a touchdown rate of minus 52 fpm, with runway-touchdown alignment described as very good. Local weather reported 30 °C, wind 14 kt from 100°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 14 kt head-wind.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 609 m, representing 22 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 175 nm, required 51 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 578 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 10 at TGPY Maurice Bishop International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 93.0 ° at 3 nm and 882 ft agl. Local weather was 30 °C with wind 14 kt from 100 °, giving a 14 kt headwind and 2 kt crosswind.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was well above target at 116 kt.
Touchdown occurred 458 m down the runway, a distance described as good. Touchdown speed was 105 kt, noted as a little fast, while the vertical rate was excellent at minus 52 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout alignment was perfect and the total landing distance was 609 m, representing 22 % of the 2,733 m runway.
With a final score of 98.9 %, the landing was strong; reducing the threshold speed toward the target and moderating touchdown speed slightly would tighten the already excellent performance.
