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 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 375 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 515 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level to 24,265 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,220 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 87 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 2 miles east of Telti, Sardegna, Italy. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles east of Ota, Corse, France, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 25,155 feet above sea level to 2,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,836 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Santa-Lucia-di-Moriani, Corse, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Santa-Lucia-di-Moriani and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,347 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,040 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 343.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 75 knots and a touchdown distance of 375 meters. The touchdown rate was also good at -195 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots blowing from 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.5 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 221 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport with a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 12°C, wind speed of 16 kn at 310°, and a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 13 kn.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 83 kn. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 375 meters. The touchdown speed of 75 kn was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.5 meters.
The total landing distance of 519 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre by 9.1 meters, but this was still within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 95.9%.
