Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

The 207 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna T206H, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hayward Executive Airport (KHWD). This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28R, with a takeoff distance of 331 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 66 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 279 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. After departing from KHWD, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 578 feet above sea level to 1,133 feet above sea level, an increase of 555 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile southwest of San Lorenzo, California, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft started its enroute descent, which began overhead Redwood Shores, California. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,279 feet above sea level to 244 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,036 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at San Carlos Airport (KSQL) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 138.0 degrees at an altitude of 237 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 797 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 44 knots. The touchdown distance was 204 meters, with a touchdown speed of 40 knots and a touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute, which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 347 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 396 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight took 11 minutes to complete, using 6 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna T206H Farings aircraft successfully landed at San Carlos Airport (KSQL) on runway 12, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 138.0° at 1 nautical mile and 237 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated precise control and navigation skills, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown speed of 40 knots and a touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course throughout the approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 44 knots was achieved, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise.
The landing distance of 204 meters was within the acceptable range, and the total landing distance of 396 meters was only 50% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 347°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was 7 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and expertise were on full display.
