Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep wings level during the climb.
What happened: Bank angle increased during the climb, drifting wider than it should have.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with minimal bank
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.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 2,099 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 7.8° off, against a 1° limit, wings 40° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 98 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,233 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft King Air 350 taxied from its parking position to runway 26 at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm during the taxi-out.
During the departure roll on runway 26, the aircraft used 960 m of runway, representing 78 % of the available length, and lifted off at 112 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 170°, giving a 2 kt headwind component and a 12 kt cross-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 2 mi south of Roncesvalles, Ontario. The aircraft rose from 1,264 ft asl to 2,293 ft asl, an increase of 1,030 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
The subsequent descent started overhead Humewood-Cedarvale, Ontario. Altitude decreased from 2,281 ft asl to 1,082 ft asl, a loss of 1,199 ft in 2 minutes, and the aircraft travelled 6 nm.
A second climb was initiated 1 mi north-west of York University Heights, Ontario. The aircraft climbed from 1,111 ft asl to 3,115 ft asl, gaining 2,004 ft in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Following that, a descent began 1 mi west of Willowdale, Ontario. Altitude fell from 3,153 ft asl to 469 ft asl, a reduction of 2,684 ft over 3 minutes, with a distance of 10 nm traversed.
For the final approach to runway 26 at CYTZ, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 255.0° at 1 nm distance and 220 ft above ground level.
Landing on runway 26, which is 1,233 m long, the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 107 kt. Touchdown occurred 137 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 96 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 191 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 25 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 170°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 10 kt cross-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 929 m, representing 75 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset 10.9 m from the centreline.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 33 nm, required 12 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 78 kg of fuel.
The B752 approached runway 28R at KSFO from the south-east on a heading of 298.0° at 4 nm and 1,242 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits; temperature was 64 °F, wind 9 kt from 290°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft touched down before the runway threshold. Touchdown speed was 130 kt, judged good, and the vertical rate was -270 fpm, judged fair.
At touchdown the aircraft was misaligned by 39 ft from the runway centreline.
Rollout covered a total distance of 5,356 ft, representing 46 % of the runway length, and the aircraft was excessively misaligned by 280 ft from the centreline during rollout.
Aim to achieve the standard aim point approximately 1,000 ft (300 m) down the runway and maintain centreline alignment through flare and rollout to reduce both short-touchdown and lateral deviation.
