Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Landing report
Landing on runway 14 at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport in the Beechcraft Duke
Landing Score 97.31 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke approached runway 14 at KPBI in 15 °C conditions with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.

A good threshold height was established and the aircraft reduced to the good threshold speed of 90 kt before commencing the flare.

Touchdown occurred 207 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a good speed of 78 kt, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 91 fpm and a very good runway alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 942 m, representing 45 % of the 2 112 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 97.3 % the landing was strong; the primary refinement is to achieve touchdown nearer the aim point, roughly 300 m (1 000 ft) from the threshold, to further optimise the landing distance.
