Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 14 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of 0.1° usually follows into the initial climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,656 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft Bonanza taxied from the parking area to the runway, a movement that required 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport, achieving a takeoff distance of 397 m, which represented 24 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 88 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 29 °C with wind from 210° at 17 kt, including a 15 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.
Climb began 2 miles west of Gibraltar, with the aircraft ascending from 900 ft asl to 1,611 ft asl, an increase of 711 ft, in 1 minutes while traversing 3 nm.
Level cruise was initiated 1 mile east of Algeciras, Andalusia, Spain, and persisted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 26 nm.
Descent started 1 mile east of the R092 Gibraltar Static Carrier - Prince of Wales, descending from 1,564 ft asl to 540 ft asl, a loss of 1,024 ft, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 265.0°, at 1 nm and 524 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27, which is 1,656 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 89 ft agl and a threshold speed of 102 kt. The touchdown point was 111 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 82 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 58 fpm. The touchdown location was offset by 13.5 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was a temperature of 28 °C with wind from 210° at 15 kt, a 12 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 817 m, representing 49 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was slightly off centreline by 13.4 m.
In total, the flight covered 37nm, took 15, and used 12 kg of fuel.
The Beechcraft Bonanza conducted the final approach to runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 265.0 ° at 1 nm and 524 ft agl while the local temperature was 28 °C and wind was 15 kt from 210 °, providing a 12 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 89 ft agl, which was significantly above target, and a threshold speed of 102 kt, which was excessively high for the approach.
Touchdown occurred 111 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 82 kt, described as fast, and a vertical rate of -58 fpm, rated excellent. The aircraft landed 13.5 m off the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 817 m, representing 49 % of the 1,656 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 13.4 m from the centreline.
Refine the approach by targeting a lower threshold and touchdown speed to bring the aircraft within the intended touchdown zone and reduce lateral deviation. Focus on centreline tracking through the flare and rollout to achieve tighter alignment on touchdown and exit.
