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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 246 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kefallinia Airport, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 1,047 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 125 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 271°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Argostolion, and climbed from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 23,002 feet, an increase of 21,981 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles southwest of KALAVRITA, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Lyrkeia, and descended from 23,008 feet to 19,540 feet, a decrease of 3,468 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles southwest of Galatas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The second descent began 6 miles southeast of Poros, and the aircraft descended from 19,506 feet to 1,611 feet, a decrease of 17,895 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 36.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 03L, which had a length of 3,202 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 120 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 246 meters, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 729 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then began its taxiing to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used -76 kilograms of fuel.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 03L was conducted from the southwest, heading 36.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 115 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 246 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute was also excellent, demonstrating a high level of precision and control during the landing.
Despite a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, which was 4.3 meters off the centerline, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 30°, presented a moderate challenge for the pilot. However, the aircraft's handling and control systems proved to be effective in compensating for the crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 729 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Honda HA420 aircraft was satisfactory, with a high score and a smooth, controlled descent.
