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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,233 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,233 ft of the 8,394 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,757 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Black Square Starship N45FL taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 3,193 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 108 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Aspen, it encountered local weather conditions of 72°F temperature and a wind of 17 knots at 305 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport and took the aircraft from 8,633 feet above sea level to 33,232 feet, an increase of 24,600 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles southwest of 2CD4 West Divide Airport in Silt, Colorado, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 339 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 15 miles south of Scenic, Arizona, and descended from 33,228 feet to 2,948 feet, a decrease of 30,281 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Winchester, Nevada, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 19R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 205.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 609 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19R was successful, with a touchdown point 339 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -196 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 107°F temperature and a wind of 20 knots at 206 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 20 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,915 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 43 feet from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 447 nautical miles, taking 105 minutes, and the aircraft used -764 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed on runway 19R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a score of 93.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 205.0° at 2 nautical miles and 609 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent onto the runway was smooth, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 101 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 92 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the touchdown point was 339 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which could be attributed to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 107°F, and a moderate headwind of 20 knots from 206°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which suggests that it had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,915 feet was 59% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 43 feet from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the intended path. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement to achieve a perfect score.
