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 5,505 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 776 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 11L at KTUS Tucson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,135 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 69°F and winds of 6 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles northeast of Summit, Arizona. The climb was from an altitude of 3,274 feet above sea level to 6,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,942 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles south of Valencia West, Arizona. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 4 miles north of Three Points, Arizona. The descent was from an altitude of 6,570 feet above sea level to 4,149 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,421 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Three Points, Arizona. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06R at KRYN Ryan Field was made from the west, heading 73.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,820 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 1,489 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 06R at KRYN Ryan Field, which had a length of 5,505 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 773 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 69 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -288 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and winds of 4 knots at 126°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,011 feet, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 169 feet from the centerline.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, which was covered in 49 minutes. The aircraft used 293 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at KRYN Ryan Field, with a final approach score of 84.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,820 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a good final approach, touching down on runway 06R, which has a length of 5,505 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 74 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 773 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 69 kt was a bit faster than ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -288 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, being off by 32 feet. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 126°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. The total landing distance of 4,011 feet was 73% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned, being off by 169 feet from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining directional control during the rollout phase of the landing. Despite this, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was satisfactory, with a final approach score of 84.0%.
