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 3,852 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,852 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 506 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 22 at KHCR Heber City Mun-McDonald Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,314 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 85 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Charleston, Utah, where it climbed from 6,447 feet above sea level to 7,704 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,257 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Midway, Utah, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of Snyderville, Utah, where it climbed from 8,064 feet above sea level to 10,085 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,022 feet in 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Park City, Utah, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting overhead Snyderville, Utah, where it climbed from 10,534 feet above sea level to 11,138 feet above sea level, an increase of 605 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles west of Summit Park, Utah, where the aircraft descended from 11,218 feet above sea level to 5,740 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,478 feet in 4 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead North Salt Lake, Utah, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 35 at KBTF Skypark Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 1 nautical mile and 334 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 501 feet and a touchdown speed of 72 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 330°. The crosswind and headwind components were 3 and 6 knots, respectively. The total landing distance was 1,374 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used 32 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KBTF Skypark Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at 1 nautical mile and 334 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 35.
The runway at KBTF Skypark Airport is 3,852 feet long, providing ample space for the aircraft to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude before touching down. The threshold speed of 76 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage airspeed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance of 501 feet was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and slowed the aircraft down effectively. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the touchdown smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,374 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and direction of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at KBTF Skypark Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
