Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 15 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,226 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Dawson Creek Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. After departing from runway 07, the aircraft took off using 3,249 feet of the runway, which was 65% of the total length. The takeoff speed was 94 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and winds of 18 knots at 229 degrees.
After liftoff, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of the airport, with the pilot flying the aircraft from an initial altitude of 3,116 feet above sea level to 29,046 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,930 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of approximately 63 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the plane entered into a level cruise that lasted for 221 minutes, covering a distance of 1,046 nautical miles, starting 24 miles south of Wembley, Alberta, Canada. The cruise altitude remained constant at 29,046 feet above sea level.
After departing from the level cruise, the descent started approximately 1 mile northeast of Castle Rock Heliport in Colorado, USA. The pilot flew the aircraft from an initial altitude of 29,713 feet above sea level to 12,184 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,529 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of around 53 nautical miles.
Later, another level cruise was initiated from 1 mile west of Elizabeth, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of approximately 6 nautical miles.
Following this brief level cruise, the enroute descent started approximately 3 miles east of The Pinery, Colorado. The pilot flew the aircraft from an initial altitude of 12,172 feet above sea level to 6,726 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,446 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of around 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at Denver International Airport was initiated from the south, heading 0.0 degrees, with an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,333 feet above ground level.
A smooth landing was executed, with the touchdown point being 215 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and winds of 8 knots at 80 degrees.
Following touchdown, the pilot maintained a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The threshold speed was slightly above the target, at 74 knots, and the touchdown speed was at 73 knots, which was a bit fast.
The total landing distance covered 3,342 feet, accounting for 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a successful landing.
Finally, the plane was taxied from the runway to the parking area, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the total flight distance was 1,194 nautical miles, taking 272 minutes and using 1,370 pounds of fuel.
A Vision Jet recently completed a successful landing at KDEN Denver International Airport, demonstrating impressive piloting skills and adherence to safety protocols. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 35L from the south, maintaining a steady heading of 0.0° at 4 nautical miles from the airport, with a height of 1,333 feet above ground level.
Upon reaching the runway, the Vision Jet touched down smoothly, although slightly beyond the touchdown zone due to a minor over-speed of 1 kt. The initial touchdown speed was reported at 73 kt, which was slightly faster than the target speed. Despite this, the touchdown rate was -149 ft/min, indicating a smooth transition during the landing process.
A thorough examination of the approach and landing demonstrates exceptional piloting skills. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning directly with the runway centerline. This is a testament to the pilot's ability to maintain focus and control throughout the approach.
The conditions during the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 80°. A moderate crosswind of 7 kt was present, but a headwind of 1 kt minimized its impact on the landing. The total landing distance was 3,342 ft, which accounted for only 28% of the runway length (12,039 ft). This is a respectable distance, especially considering the minor over-speed during touchdown.
The post-landing roll was also conducted with precision, as the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain directional control even after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Vision Jet scoring an impressive 96.8% in the assessment.
