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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,210 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 833 ft 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 02 at MMGM General José María Yáñez International Airport. The Cessna 208B aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,159 feet, which was 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 83 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 87°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 350°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,060 feet above sea level to 7,749 feet, an increase of 6,689 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 10 miles south of Heroica Guaymas and lasted for 66 minutes, covering 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb from 7,995 feet to 10,774 feet, an increase of 2,779 feet in 7 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of descents and level cruises. The first descent started 47 miles north of La Paz, where the aircraft descended from 10,631 feet to 8,808 feet, a decrease of 1,823 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The next level cruise lasted for 7 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. Another descent started 24 miles north of La Paz, where the aircraft descended from 8,505 feet to 3,049 feet, a decrease of 5,456 feet in 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The flight then continued with a series of short level cruises and descents. The final descent started 5 miles northwest of La Paz, where the aircraft descended from 2,753 feet to 811 feet, a decrease of 1,942 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at MMLP Manuel Márquez de León International Airport was made from the north, heading 188.0° at 4 nautical miles and 757 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 69 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 823 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 185°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 2,956 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 238 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used 781 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Manuel Márquez de León International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 757 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable landing.
The touchdown distance of 823 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast, but not excessively so. The touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 kt from 185°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 9 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly higher threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 2,956 feet was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed or the aircraft's response to the wind conditions.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable approach speed and ensuring a more accurate rollout alignment.
