Maintain the centreline
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 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 L61 Shoshone Airport. The Beechcraft V35B aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 428 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 7,803 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,072 feet from the initial altitude of 1,731 feet. This climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles west of L57 Hidden Hills Airport in Pahrump, Nevada. The descent from 7,789 feet to 5,432 feet took 3 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, before beginning another climb 5 miles east of L57 Hidden Hills Airport. This climb took 5 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles, reaching an altitude of 8,112 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, before beginning its descent 3 miles east of Blue Diamond, Nevada. The descent from 7,790 feet to 2,888 feet took 5 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile, before beginning its descent overhead Winchester, Nevada. The descent from 3,248 feet to 2,271 feet took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, flying a heading of 270 degrees at an altitude of 148 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 409 meters and a touchdown speed of 59 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at 65 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 812 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 61 nautical miles, taking 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 18 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft V35B aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 26R was executed from the east, heading 270.0° at an altitude of 148 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a score of 99.5%. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 77 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 409 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing. The touchdown speed of 59 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of 65 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.9 meters off-centerline. This deviation was relatively minor and did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which was relatively minor.
The total landing distance of 812 meters was 24% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Beechcraft V35B aircraft's landing at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures.
