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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,115 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,057 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 to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 33 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,143 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,732 feet above sea level to 19,774 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,042 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles northeast of 0LL4 Flaherty Field La Salle, lasting 58 minutes and covering a distance of 412 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the enroute descent phase, starting 2 miles south of 5OK3 Stearmans Roost Airport Vinita, with the aircraft descending from 19,514 feet above sea level to 1,954 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,560 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at KTUL Tulsa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36L was successful, with the touchdown distance being 1,053 feet, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 2,268 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KTUL Tulsa International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36L, which has a length of 6,115 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 114 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,053 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 106 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was zero.
The total landing distance of 2,268 feet was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.2%. However, there were some minor deviations in the approach and rollout paths, which may be addressed in future training exercises to further improve the pilot's skills.
