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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,769 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 309 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KLZU Gwinnett County Briscoe Field, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 25, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 581 meters, utilizing 32% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 82 knots, as the aircraft transitioned from the ground to the air.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 616 meters above sea level to 7,114 meters, an increase of 6,497.6 meters, in 15 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead Lawrenceville, Georgia, after which the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 18 minutes and covering 187 nautical miles, approximately 1 mile south-west of Franklin Springs, Georgia. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its descent from 7,006 meters above sea level to 776 meters, a decrease of 6,229.8 meters, in 16 minutes and covering 64 nautical miles, starting 4 miles north-east of Pinnacle, North Carolina.
The final approach to runway 34 at KROA Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport was conducted from the south-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 328.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 415.2 meters above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 87 knots, and a touchdown distance of 306 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 80 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.6 meters per second. The aircraft landed 4.9 meters off the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 315 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 60 minutes and a fuel consumption of 225 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34 at KROA Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed of 87 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight over-rotation during the flare. The touchdown distance of 306 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 80 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, 4.9 m off the centreline. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -0.6 m/s was smooth, indicating a well-executed flare and touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 700 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.0% reflecting the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
