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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,986 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,986 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,515 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KHQU Thomson-McDuffie County Airport took approximately 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 28, utilizing 1,872 feet, or 37% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 64°F and a wind of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KHQU, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,991 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 8,446 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 9,991 feet for 3 minutes while covering an additional 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Abbeville, South Carolina, with the aircraft descending from 9,668 feet to 2,754 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. A second level cruise phase followed, lasting 8 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at KAND Anderson Regional Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 346.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a threshold speed slightly below the target at 111 knots, with a touchdown distance of 1,515 feet, or 61% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 104 knots and touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 103 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 28 minutes and no fuel consumption.
The final approach to runway 35 at KAND Anderson Regional Airport from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 346.0° at 4 nm and 1,308 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 111 kt, indicating a slight deceleration prior to touchdown.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 1,515 ft and a touchdown speed of 104 kt. The touchdown rate of -185 fpm was also within acceptable limits. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 ft from the centreline, the aircraft maintained control and continued with the landing. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 3,048 ft was 61% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline, requiring some correction by the pilot. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.9%.
