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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 109 kt.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,514 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 561 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), the aircraft began its journey on runway 20, taking off with a distance of 2,474 feet, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, with a gentle headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 2 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Chattanooga, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,989 feet above sea level in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 8,042 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 9,989 feet for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of enroute descents, with the aircraft descending from 10,007 feet to 5,944 feet in 5 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 5,990 feet to 2,207 feet in 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field, with a heading of 1.0° and an altitude of 1,471 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 102 knots, which was slightly below the target speed. The touchdown distance was 558 feet, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, with a firm touchdown rate of -339 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft touching down 21 feet off the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,066 feet, accounting for 32% of the available runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. The total flight distance was 135 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 6,449 pounds, and a flight duration of 35 minutes.
The final approach to runway 36 at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field from the south was executed with a heading of 1.0° at 4 nm and 1,471 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 102 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 558 ft and a touchdown speed of 99 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -339 fpm, indicating a controlled impact with the runway. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 ft from the centreline, the aircraft maintained a stable trajectory. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,066 ft was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 ft from the centreline, suggesting a slight deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2% reflecting a high level of proficiency in executing the landing.
