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.
Side view — the last 842 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 842 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 47 m 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DHC-2 Beaver, then departed from runway 03 at LFEP Pouilly-Maconge Airfield. The takeoff distance was 187 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 31°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Creancey in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The climb began at an altitude of 2,185 feet above sea level and reached 2,811 feet above sea level, an increase of 626 feet in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Pouilly-en-Auxois in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at LFEP Pouilly-Maconge Airfield was made from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 993 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 44 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -616 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 32°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 418 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 18 kilograms.
The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at LFEP Pouilly-Maconge Airfield, achieving an overall score of 87.7%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 993 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 71 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -616 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 32°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 418 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft touched down relatively close to the threshold. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 15.7 meters. This may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a momentary loss of control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
