Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 182 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Beechcraft Baron G58, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYAV Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft taking off after covering 38% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 342 meters, and the liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of -18 °C, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from a direction of 352 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of CAV9 Oak Hammock Air Park Saint Andrews, rising from an altitude of 1,618 feet above sea level to 7,009 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered 13 nautical miles, took 4 minutes and involved an increase of 5,390 feet in altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of CJL5 Winnipeg / Lyncrest Airport Winnipeg. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles southwest of CKJ2 Rosenort Airport Rosenort, descending from an altitude of 6,990 feet above sea level to 2,601 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered 19 nautical miles, took 5 minutes and involved a decrease of 4,390 feet in altitude.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 4 miles east of CKZ7 Winkler Airport Winkler, lasting for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at CJA3 Morden Regional Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,499 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28 at CJA3 Morden Regional Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 76 knots and a distance of 180 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16 °C, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from a direction of 346 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 456 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used 29 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed at CJA3 Morden Regional Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 286.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,499 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and speed of 79 knots upon touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 180 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 76 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.9 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 346°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 456 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was impressive, with a high score and a safe touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of managing the descent and maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
