Track the centreline on final
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a swift 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport. The departure roll from runway 03 covered 714 meters, which was 20% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 111 knots, and the weather conditions at the time of departure were 16°C with a 6-knot wind coming from 139°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and lasted 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,268 feet above sea level to 27,085 feet, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The level cruise phase began 15 miles south of GMMB Ben Slimane Airport and continued for 88 minutes, covering 363 nautical miles.
The descent began 53 miles east of Punta de Mujeres in the Canary Islands, Spain, during which the aircraft descended from 26,639 feet to 2,023 feet over a distance of 59 nautical miles in 24 minutes. The landing was executed on runway 21 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, with the touchdown occurring 407 meters from the threshold. The touchdown speed was 86 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator reading of -112 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 558 meters, accounting for 23% of the runway length.
After landing, a 4-minute taxi back to the parking area was completed, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 478 nautical miles, taking a total of 146 minutes and consuming 757 kilograms of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 95.2% is quite impressive and reflects a great performance on various aspects of the landing process.
Starting with the Approach Phase, your excellent glideslope alignment indicates a smooth and accurate descent towards the runway, which is crucial for a successful landing. However, the poor heading alignment suggests that there may have been some adjustments needed to correct your lateral positioning. Moving forward, focusing on maintaining both vertical and horizontal alignment during the approach will help improve this area.
Transitioning into the Landing Phase, hitting the threshold height accurately is essential for a safe touchdown, and your good performance in this regard is commendable. The perfect landing flare indicates a smooth and precise touchdown, demonstrating mastery over the landing technique. Consistency in achieving this will ensure a smooth and controlled touchdown in future landings.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed showcase a good control over the aircraft during this critical phase. Additionally, landing inside the touchdown zone and having a very good runway touchdown position demonstrate precision and accuracy in your landings. Sustaining this level of performance will enhance consistency and confidence in your touchdown approach.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment is vital for a safe and efficient rollout. Being 3.1 meters off the centerline suggests a slight deviation that can be improved upon by focusing on alignment techniques during this phase of landing.
In conclusion, your aircraft landing performance is strong, with notable strengths in glideslope alignment, landing flare, and touchdown precision. Areas for improvement include heading alignment during approach and runway alignment during rollout. By practicing and refining these aspects, you can further enhance your overall landing proficiency and continue to excel in future flights. Keep up the good work and maintain a positive attitude towards continuous improvement in your landing skills.
