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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 872 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 872 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport. The aircraft, Sirius, took off with a takeoff distance of 146 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft gained altitude, it entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Holme in Cambridgeshire, England. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 10 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport. The approach was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0 degrees at an altitude of 109 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 47 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. However, the touchdown speed of 37 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.
The total landing distance was 838 meters, which accounted for 96% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight was a smooth and efficient operation, with a total distance of 2 nautical miles and a flight time of 10 minutes. The aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating a high level of efficiency.
The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport, with a final approach from the west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 109 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway, heading 100.0°. The landing was executed on runway 10, which has a length of 872 meters.
The approach and landing were deemed satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 47 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing, but the touchdown speed of 37 knots was considered good.
The touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°.
The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point. The total landing distance was 838 meters, which is 96% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor issues related to the touchdown point and speed. However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through the perfect touchdown rate and runway alignment.
