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.

Side view — the last 1,979 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,979 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,021 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado CT182T with registration N5996K, then departed from runway 27 at KLDJ Linden Airport. The takeoff distance was 682 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 51°F and wind speeds of 9 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rahway, New Jersey, where the aircraft ascended from 753 feet above sea level to 2,868 feet, an increase of 2,114 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Colonia, New Jersey, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles west of MD93 Hexton Farms Airport in Cecilton, Maryland. The climb from 2,908 feet to 3,436 feet, an increase of 528 feet, took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles south east of Betterton, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 3,353 feet to 2,886 feet, a decrease of 467 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead MD11 Wright Field in Chestertown, Maryland, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Severna Park, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 2,702 feet to 2,096 feet, a decrease of 606 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 1 mile north west of Crownsville, Maryland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent began 1 mile south east of Glenn Dale, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 1,918 feet to 714 feet, a decrease of 1,205 feet in 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at KCGS College Park Airport, flying from the south east at a heading of 319.0°, 2 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 662 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 at KCGS College Park Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,979 feet. The threshold speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 50°F and wind speeds of 5 knots at 259°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,988 feet, which was 100% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 160 nautical miles, taking 90 minutes and using 120 pounds of fuel.
The Carenado CT182T aircraft, registration N5996K, successfully landed at KCGS College Park Airport, achieving a score of 85.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, aligning with a heading of 319.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 662 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 1,979 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 68 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. The touchdown speed was recorded at 56 knots, which is relatively low, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate was impressive, with a rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing phase. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance was 1,988 feet, which is equivalent to 100% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft utilized the full length of the runway to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the touchdown point was a bit far down the runway, which may indicate a need for adjustments to the approach configuration or landing technique.
