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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,352 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 181 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 33 at SDIM Itanhaém Airport, where the Beechcraft Duke took off with a takeoff distance of 874 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 90 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 33, with the entry distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 87.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 51 seconds to complete.
The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 9.0 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 33 was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 309.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 292 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed being a little below the target at 79 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 181 meters, and the touchdown speed was 70 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was -186 feet per minute, indicating a smooth landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during departure.
The total landing distance was 434 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 30 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at SDIM Itanhaém Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 309.0° at 1 nautical mile and 292 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 33, which has a length of 1,352 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 79 knots. The touchdown distance of 181 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 70 knots was good. The rate of descent at -186 feet per minute was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 434 meters was only 32% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at SDIM Itanhaém Airport was a success, with the aircraft executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
