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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,119 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,119 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 724 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Beechcraft Baron G58, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YPJT Perth Jandakot Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 06L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 43% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 488 meters, and the liftoff speed was 110 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of YPJT Perth Jandakot Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,110 feet above sea level to 3,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,897 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Champion Lakes and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Harrisdale. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,802 feet above sea level to 841 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,961 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting overhead Queens Park. The climb took place from an altitude of 830 feet above sea level to 2,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,163 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile southwest of City Beach and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final enroute descent, starting 11 miles west of Rottnest Island. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,983 feet above sea level to 1,564 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,419 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at YRTI Rottnest Island Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90 degrees at an altitude of 1,537 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 09, which had a length of 1,119 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was good at 77 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which was 111% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 61 nautical miles, and the flight took 50 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 49 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 aircraft successfully landed at YRTI Rottnest Island Airport, but the landing was not without some areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,537 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 1,119 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to extend the landing distance by adjusting the approach path.
The touchdown speed of 77 knots was reported as good, and the touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively and maintain a stable approach. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 6 knots at 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which is 111% of the runway length. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to extend the landing distance by adjusting the approach path.
Despite some areas for improvement, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good. Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilot may have been able to improve the approach path and touchdown point by adjusting their technique.
