Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 16 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 6.3° of bank in the first climb segment and 8.2° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on the approach to bring the speed back to 90 kt before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: Carrying excess speed through the stabilisation gate usually rides all the way down to the runway, and this flight touched down at 143 kt, 52 kt above the 91 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 90 kt on approach and against 91 kt at touchdown.
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 1,528 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.0° against the runway's 3°, wings 37° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 90 kt.

Side view — the last 680 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft Baron G58 taxied from its parking position to runway 12L at OMDB Dubai International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 568 m, representing 15 % of the runway, and lifted off at 85 kt. Ambient conditions were 38 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 060°, providing a 1 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind component.
The first en-route climb began overhead OMDB, climbing from 87 ft asl to 612 ft asl, an increase of 525 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 1 mile southwest of OMDB and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 4 nm.
A second climb segment started 4 miles southwest of OMDB, raising the altitude from 1,031 ft asl to 1,613 ft asl, a gain of 582 ft in 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
Subsequent level cruise began 4 miles northwest of OMDF and continued for 2 minutes, with a distance of 6 nm covered.
Descent commenced 2 miles northeast of OMDU Dubai Skydive, descending from 1,459 ft asl to 69 ft asl, a loss of 1,390 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at OMDU Dubai Skydive was flown from the southwest on a heading of 64.0°, descending to 64 ft agl at the runway threshold.
Landing on runway 06, which is 680 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 144 kt and a touchdown speed of 143 kt. The touchdown point was beyond 75 % of the available runway, the touchdown rate was minus 346 fpm, and the aircraft was laterally offset by 5.5 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 37 °C, wind 2 kt from 309°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind component.
The rollout required a total landing distance of 782 m, equal to 115 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment during rollout was off by 13.6 m.
In total, the flight covered 21 nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 195 kg of fuel.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 entered the final approach to runway 06 at OMDU Dubai Skydive from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 64.0° at 0 nm and 64 ft AGL; local temperature was 37 °C with wind 2 kt from 309°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
At threshold the aircraft achieved a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 144 kt.
Touchdown occurred beyond 75 % of the available runway, with a touchdown speed of 143 kt that was excessively fast, a firm touchdown rate of minus 346 fpm, and a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from centreline; total landing distance measured 782 m, representing 115 % of the 680 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, drifting 13.6 m from the centreline.
With a score of 70.1%, the primary refinements are to lower the approach and touchdown speeds to keep the landing distance within runway limits and to tighten alignment control during rollout.
