Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 5.4 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 4.7 m.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 452 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 88 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from AYPE Kairik Airstrip on runway 05 saw the aircraft roll out and accelerate to a liftoff speed of 71 kt, covering 333 m of the runway, which represented 28 % of the available length. The local conditions were a temperature of 15 °C with a 3-kt wind from 269°, a 2-kt crosswind and a 2-kt tailwind. Immediately after takeoff, the climb phase began over AYPE Kairik Airstrip Porgera, rising from 7,954 ft asl to 12,334 ft asl-a gain of 4,380 ft in 3 minutes while traversing 6 nm.
The aircraft entered a level cruise 6 miles east of AYPE Kairik Airstrip, maintaining altitude for 16 minutes and covering 50 nm. Descent commenced 10 miles northwest of RUU Ruti Airport Kawbenaberi, dropping from 12,924 ft asl to 6,706 ft asl, a descent of 6,218 ft in 8 minutes over 22 nm. Final approach to runway 29 at AYDS Dusin Airport was conducted from the east, with a heading of 290.0° at 1 nm and 411 ft agl. A go-around was executed at 97 ft agl before the aircraft landed on runway 29, which measures 452 m in length.
Landing performance was within acceptable limits: the threshold speed was 64 kt, slightly below target, and the touchdown occurred 84 m from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 57 kt and a touchdown rate of -221 fpm. The touchdown position was 5.5 m off the centreline, yet the runway rollout alignment was described as very good. The total landing distance was 344 m, accounting for 76 % of the runway. Overall, the flight covered 84 nm, required 33 minutes, and consumed 78 kg of fuel.
Final approach to runway 29 at AYDS Dusin Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 290.0° at 1 nm and 411 ft agl. The touchdown occurred at 84 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 57 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 221 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the runway centreline. The aircraft landed on runway 29, which measures 452 m in length, and the total landing distance was 344 m, representing 76 % of the available runway.
During the approach, the threshold height was excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 47 kt was well below target, requiring attention to avoid stalling. A subsequent approach reported a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly below target at 64 kt. Local weather conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 269°, producing a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
