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 1,594 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24 at EGPL Benbecula Airport, with a takeoff distance of 564 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGPL Benbecula Airport, and continued to climb from 1,025 feet above sea level to 32,788 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,763 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 14 miles southwest of ULL Glenforsa Glenforsa, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 259 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Brewood, and continued to descend from 32,840 feet above sea level to 2,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,834 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at EGTC Cranfield Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 209.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,590 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 1,594 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 107 knots. The touchdown point was 85 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 96 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 77 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,592 meters, which was 100% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 412 nautical miles, which was completed in 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as RJ70, successfully landed at EGTC Cranfield Airport, achieving a score of 87.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 209.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,590 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 21, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, reaching 107 knots at the threshold. The touchdown point was located 85 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 96 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was particularly noteworthy, with a smooth descent rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach, avoiding any sudden or excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a relatively light wind of 5 knots from a direction of 77°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating good control and situational awareness.
The total landing distance of 1,592 meters was 100% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft did not require any additional stopping distance beyond the runway itself. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, as well as the effective use of the available runway length.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was described as "perfect," indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of safe landing operations, as it helps to prevent any potential deviations or excursions from the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was a successful one, with the aircraft and pilot demonstrating good performance and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
