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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,389 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,389 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KHIO Portland Hillsboro Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 31L, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 2,585 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 139 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KHIO, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 25,010 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport and concluded 4 miles north of Sweet Home, Oregon. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 38 minutes and covering 320 nautical miles. The descent phase began 1 mile north of Sutter, California, where the aircraft descended from 24,579 feet to 1,293 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering 78 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach to runway 19R at KCCR Buchanan Field, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the threshold, and heading 203.0 degrees. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 108 knots, and the touchdown distance was 411 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 2,018 feet, accounting for 46% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 470 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 71 minutes and a fuel consumption of 232 pounds.
The final approach to runway 19R at KCCR Buchanan Field from the north east was executed with a heading of 203.0° at 4 nm and 1,264 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 108 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal speed profile.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 411 ft and a touchdown speed of 105 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -350 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 50 ft from the centreline, which would require attention during the post-flight analysis. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 2 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,018 ft was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 51 ft from the centreline, indicating a need for improvement in the pilot's ability to maintain centreline alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.4%, indicating a good but not exceptional performance.
