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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,529 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,233 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 KACY Atlantic City International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 1,961 feet, which was 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 67°F and winds of 22 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 19 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KACY Atlantic City International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,079 feet above sea level to 30,674 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,594 feet in 23 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of 6MD8 Delmarvair Airport in Pittsville, Maryland, and lasted 34 minutes, covering 162 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles east of Lewiston Woodville, North Carolina, descending from 30,641 feet above sea level to 30,128 feet above sea level, a decrease of 513 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles north of Hamilton, North Carolina, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its climb 4 miles north of Robersonville, North Carolina, ascending from 29,904 feet above sea level to 30,602 feet above sea level, an increase of 698 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 2 miles southeast of Bethel, North Carolina, and lasted 13 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles north of Beulaville, North Carolina, descending from 30,577 feet above sea level to 18,894 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,683 feet in 5 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles west of Burgaw, North Carolina, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles southeast of NC43 Bear Pen Airport in Supply, North Carolina, descending from 18,580 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,974 feet in 12 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 5 miles southeast of Surfside Beach, South Carolina, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport was from the south, with a heading of 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,679 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,231 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -245 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 66°F and winds of 23 knots at 340°.
The total landing distance was 2,535 feet, which was 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 422 nautical miles, taking 116 minutes, and the aircraft used 783 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at Myrtle Beach International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,679 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 9,529 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 94 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 1,231 feet was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 76 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the flare. The touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the pilot had some control over the aircraft's descent rate. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 23 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 22 knots. These conditions would have made the landing more challenging, but the pilot was able to execute a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 2,535 feet was 27% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at Myrtle Beach International Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
