Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach that landed joined below the 300 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,911 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the OV-10 Bronco taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KLWS Lewiston Nez Perce County Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 607 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south east of West Clarkston-Highland, and descended from 1,577 feet above sea level to 933 feet, a decrease of 645 feet in 1 minute, covering 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead WT33 Skid Row Seaplane Base Clarkston, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 5 miles west of WT33 Skid Row Seaplane Base Clarkston, and climbed from 1,141 feet asl to 2,194 feet asl, an increase of 1,052 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute descents and climbs, level cruises, and changes in altitude. Notably, the aircraft began its enroute descent 6 miles west of Uniontown, descending from 2,169 feet asl to 796 feet asl, a decrease of 1,372 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute climb overhead 00W Lower Granite State Airport Colfax, climbing from 798 feet asl to 3,025 feet asl, an increase of 2,227 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several more enroute descents and climbs, level cruises, and changes in altitude. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26 at KPDT Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton, from the east, heading 270.0° at 0 nautical miles and 345 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 342 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 97 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -421 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.
The total landing distance was 1,104 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 132 nautical miles, taking 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 299 kilograms of fuel.
The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at KPDT Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at an altitude of 345 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 97 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 342 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -421 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,104 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the OV-10 Bronco aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a hard touchdown rate.
