Hold the approach angle
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Side view — the last 1,119 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,119 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24R at YPJT Perth Jandakot Airport, where the Beechcraft Baron G58 took off with a takeoff distance of 330 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 102 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 229 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 8 knots and a negligible crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 896 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,362 ft asl, an increase of 1,466 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile southeast of Harrisdale and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 2,496 ft asl to 298 ft asl, a decrease of 2,198 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This descent phase was initiated overhead Herne Hill. The aircraft then underwent several more climb and descent phases, each with varying altitudes and distances covered.
One notable climb phase occurred from 296 ft asl to 1,154 ft asl, an increase of 858 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Another significant climb phase took place from 1,418 ft asl to 2,182 ft asl, an increase of 764 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft also underwent several level cruise phases, each lasting for varying durations and covering different distances. One notable level cruise phase lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles, and started overhead Carine.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final descent from 2,717 ft asl to 632 ft asl, a decrease of 2,086 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent phase was initiated 8 miles west of Rottnest Island.
The final approach to runway 27 at YRTI Rottnest Island Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 259.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 622 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 321 meters and a touchdown speed of 70 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -30 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 229 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 654 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 103 nautical miles in 63 minutes, using 66 kilograms of fuel. The flight crew demonstrated excellent piloting skills, navigating the aircraft through various climb and descent phases, level cruises, and a successful landing.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed on runway 27 at YRTI Rottnest Island Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 259.0° at 1 nautical mile and 622 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 85 knots, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 321 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 70 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -30 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a moderate headwind of 6 knots. The crosswind was relatively light at 5 knots, which made the landing even more manageable.
The total landing distance of 654 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the entire process.
