Flight Score
Departure
Hold the centreline with small, continuous rudder corrections aimed at a fixed point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline by 6.3 m during the ground roll, and this flight's climbout carried a bank of 5.3° in Climb 1 that was still present as 1.8° in Climb 2. A wandering roll like this usually rolls straight into a wandering climb attitude that follows.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator and keep the wings level, holding bank under 5.3° through the climb.
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 93 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 94 kt against a target of 93 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 93 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 555 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The OV-10 Bronco taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport; the taxi-out required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 35, using a takeoff distance of 675 m (25 % of the runway) and lifting off at 95 kt. Ambient temperature was 38 °C with wind from 120 ° at 7 kt, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and a tail-wind component of 3 kt.
Climb began overhead KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport, ascending from 4 436 ft asl to 8 750 ft asl-a gain of 4 314 ft in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.
Cruise started 1 mile north-east of Pleasant View, Utah, and continued for 12 minutes, covering 51 nm at level flight.
A second climb was initiated 2 miles north of Alpine, Utah, raising the aircraft from 9 116 ft asl to 10 078 ft asl, an increase of 962 ft in 2 minutes and traversing 6 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles east of Cedar Hills, Utah, descending from 10 138 ft asl to 7 251 ft asl, a loss of 2 887 ft in 3 minutes over 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 04 at KHCR Heber City Mun-Mcdonald was flown from the south-west on a heading of 50.0 ° at 2 nm and 1 612 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 04 at KHCR at 926 ft agl.
A second go-around was recorded on runway 04 at KHCR at 0 ft agl.
Landing occurred on runway 04, whose length is 2 097 m; the threshold height at 65 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 94 kt. Touchdown was 129 m beyond the touchdown zone at 83 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 79 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local temperature was 34 °C with wind from 280 ° at 5 kt, a cross-wind of 4 kt and a tail-wind of 3 kt.
Total landing distance was 1 000 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the OV-10 taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 110nm, took 34 minutes, and consumed 154 kg of fuel.
The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco executed the final approach to runway 04 at KHCR Heber City Mun-Mcdonald from the south-west, tracking a heading of 50.0° at 2 nm and 1,612 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: the gear was not down, flaps were not set, the aircraft was off the glideslope and off the centreline. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 34 °C with wind 5 kt from 280°, including a 4 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the runway length was 2,097 m. The threshold height at 65 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 94 kt.
Touchdown occurred 129 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. The aircraft touched down at 83 kt, a speed described as good, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 79 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,000 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Ensure gear and flaps are selected by the 1,000 ft gate and maintain the glideslope and centreline to achieve a stabilized approach. Slightly reducing speed to meet the target at threshold will further align the landing with performance expectations.
