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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,807 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SPHI Jose A Quinones Gonzales International Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19, with the aircraft taking off after covering 26% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 654 meters, and the liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 796 feet above sea level to 24,312 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,515 feet in 27 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northwest of SPRU Carlos Martinez De Pinillos International Airport Trujillo, lasting 7 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 10 miles south of Salaverry, ascending from 25,330 feet above sea level to 26,107 feet above sea level, an increase of 778 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 9 miles west of Viru, lasting 72 minutes and covering 246 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 7 miles southwest of Ricardo Palma, descending from 25,658 feet above sea level to 20,830 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,828 feet in 7 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 9 miles east of Matucana, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 13 miles north of San Juan de Tantaranche, descending from 20,391 feet above sea level to 16,469 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,922 feet in 5 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once more 4 miles southwest of Canchayllo, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached the final approach, it began its descent 2 miles south of Parco, descending from 16,167 feet above sea level to 11,377 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,790 feet in 4 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at SPJJ Francisco Carle Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 308.0° at 1 nautical mile and -1,015 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with the aircraft covering 30% of the runway's length. The touchdown distance was 427 meters, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 855 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 438 nautical miles, took 140 minutes, and used 245 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at SPJJ Francisco Carle Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 308.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,015 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 92 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 427 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 74 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and safely. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 855 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke aircraft demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing at SPJJ Francisco Carle Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and landing phases was impressive, and the landing was executed safely and smoothly.
