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.

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 3,470 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft Duke began at Gassim Airport (OEGS) in Saudi Arabia. The taxi to runway 33 took 11 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The departure roll on runway 33 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 2,330 ft (24% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 84 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was hot, with a temperature of 99 °F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 30 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Gassim Airport, climbing from 2,983 ft to 3,154 ft in just 1 minute. The climb covered a distance of 0 nm. The level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Gassim Airport, covering a distance of 1 nm in 0 minutes, finishing 2 miles northwest of the airport.
Another enroute climb started 3 miles northwest of Gassim Airport, climbing from 5,451 ft to 6,151 ft in 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nm. The level cruise started 2 miles north of the airport, covering 17 nm in 8 minutes, and finishing 10 miles northeast of Buraydah in Saudi Arabia.
A subsequent climb started 11 miles northeast of Buraydah, climbing from 5,276 ft to 6,180 ft in 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. The level cruise then began, covering a distance of 263 nm in 151 minutes, and finishing overhead Al Farwaniyah in Kuwait.
The descent started 1 mile north of Al Farwaniyah, descending from 6,141 ft to 1,832 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm and finishing 1 mile southwest of Ash Shamiyah in Kuwait. The landing took place on runway 15L at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK), with a touchdown speed of 76 knots and a touchdown VSI of -95 ft/min. The landing rollout on runway 15L was 1,918 ft, with a total landing distance of 3,320 ft (29% of the runway).

Great job on achieving such a high aircraft landing score of 97.2%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, which is essential for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. Your speed was slightly below target, indicating good control and awareness of your aircraft's performance. In the future, try to maintain closer to the target speed to ensure a safe and efficient approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height, which is crucial for determining the correct timing for initiating the landing flare. Your landing flare was great, showing that you were able to smoothly transition from descent to touchdown. Keep up the good work in maintaining proper threshold height and executing a smooth landing flare.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. Your speed was on target, showing that you were able to manage your aircraft's speed effectively during this critical phase. Additionally, your touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being 10 ft from the centreline is impressive and shows good precision in your landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was 28 ft from the centreline. While this is slightly off the ideal alignment, it is still within a reasonable margin. Continue to work on maintaining a straight and centered rollout to further improve your landings.
Overall, your performance during the landing was commendable, with strengths in glideslope alignment, landing flare, touchdown rate, and precision in touchdown positioning. Keep up the great work and continue to fine-tune your skills to achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Remember that consistent practice and attention to detail are key to mastering the art of aircraft landings. Keep up the good work!
