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: seven 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.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 884 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 884 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 52 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 departed San Francisco Airport, rolling down runway 36 and accelerating to a liftoff speed of 78 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 407 meters, utilizing 46% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 °C, with a gentle headwind of 5 kt and a crosswind of 4 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,100 ft above sea level to 1,862 ft, a gain of 762 ft over a distance of 5 nm in 2 minutes. Following the climb, the aircraft leveled off and entered a 3-minute cruise phase, covering 8 nm. The enroute descent phase commenced 2 miles east of Consuelo, with the aircraft descending from 1,547 ft to 281 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm. The final approach to runway 36 at San Francisco Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 359.0 ° at 0 nm and 215 ft above ground level.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 36, utilizing 33% of the available runway length and covering a distance of 292 meters. The touchdown speed of 75 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 76 kt, while the touchdown rate of -286 fpm was fair. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline by 15.9 meters. Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 18 nm, with a total fuel consumption of 5 kg and a flight duration of 8 minutes.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 36 at RPSS San Francisco Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was well-managed at 76 kt, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. However, the touchdown speed of 75 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -286 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 49 m was within acceptable limits, but the significant misalignment of 15.9 m from the centreline at touchdown posed a challenge for the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 292 m, accounting for 33% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 14.2 m from the centreline. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 90.0% reflecting the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground, despite some minor deviations from ideal performance.
