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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 31 at GMFO Oujda Angads Airport. The takeoff distance was 512 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of GMFO Oujda Angads Airport, near Ahl Angad in Oriental, Morocco. The climb started from an altitude of 2,481 feet above sea level and reached 7,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,511 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 5 miles west of Ahfir in Oriental, Morocco, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles north of Berkane in Oriental, Morocco, descending from 7,998 feet above sea level to 2,143 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,855 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 14 miles northeast of Zaio in Oriental, Morocco, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles northeast of Nador in Oriental, Morocco, descending from 2,035 feet above sea level to 1,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 557 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at GEML Melilla Airport was made from the southeast, heading 326.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 33, which had a length of 1,198 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 65 knots. The touchdown distance was 233 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -333 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 410 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 61 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used 87 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at GEML Melilla Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 33 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 326.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 65 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 233 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -333 feet per minute was firm, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit too much reverse thrust or braking during the landing. This could be a minor area for improvement.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which made the landing conditions relatively easy.
The total landing distance of 410 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases. However, there may be some minor areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown rate and improving the alignment during the final approach.
