Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,471 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,572 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYYR Goose Bay Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26, with a takeoff distance of 1,260 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 17 knots blowing from a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead CYYR Goose Bay Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 612 feet above sea level to 20,746 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,134 feet in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 42 miles southwest of CCZ2 Rigolet Airport and lasted for 35 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 569 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 26 miles west of Qaqortoq, Greenland, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 20,044 feet above sea level to 1,019 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,026 feet in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 40.0 degrees at an altitude of 925 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 6,471 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 100 knots.
The touchdown point was 624 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 79 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 7 knots blowing from a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,824 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 61 feet from the centerline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 672 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes, with the aircraft using 1,319 pounds of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at Narsarsuaq Airport, scoring a high 91.3% on its performance. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0° at an altitude of 925 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 100 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed decreased to 79 knots, which was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 624 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The aircraft's touchdown rate was an impressive -83 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of 3°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating excellent control and skill.
However, there was one notable deviation during the rollout phase. The aircraft's rollout alignment was misaligned by 61 feet from the centerline, which may indicate a slight loss of control or a slight drift during the rollout phase. Nevertheless, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at Narsarsuaq Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range.
