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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,872 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 271 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The OV-10 Bronco taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 8 minutes and covered 4 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 21L at KPRC Prescott International Airport, using 791 m of runway (34 % of the available length) and achieving a liftoff speed of 107 kt; ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, comprising a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile southwest of KPRC, where the aircraft rose from 6,025 ft asl to 9,274 ft asl, gaining 3,249 ft in 3 minutes while covering 13 nm.
A level cruise segment started 3 miles east of Wilhoit, lasting 2 minutes and extending over 6 nm.
The second climb segment originated 7 miles southeast of Wilhoit, with altitude increasing from 9,802 ft asl to 10,777 ft asl, a gain of 975 ft in 2 minutes and a distance of 6 nm.
The next cruise phase commenced 7 miles west of the AZ72 Police waypoint, persisting for 3 minutes and spanning 13 nm.
A further climb began 9 miles northeast of the 0AZ5 Castle Well Airport, raising the aircraft from 11,490 ft asl to 13,793 ft asl, an ascent of 2,303 ft in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
The final cruise segment started 6 miles northeast of Wittmann, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Descent commenced 3 miles east of Wittmann, with the aircraft descending from 12,919 ft asl to 1,225 ft asl, a loss of 11,694 ft in 8 minutes over a distance of 22 nm.
During the final approach to runway 19 at KGEU Glendale Municipal Airport, the aircraft descended from 385 ft agl to 52 ft agl in 29 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19 was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 83 kt; touchdown occurred at 80 kt, 270 m down the runway, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 142 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 16.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 890 m (48 % of runway length).
Runway rollout alignment was noted as excessively misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 112.5 m from the centreline during the rollout.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 78 nm, took 28, and consumed 126 kg of fuel.
The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco conducted the final approach to runway 19 at KGEU Glendale Municipal Airport, descending from 385 ft AGL to 52 ft AGL in 29 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and a threshold speed that was slightly below target at 83 kt.
Touchdown occurred 270 m down the runway with a speed of 80 kt and a smooth vertical rate of minus 142 fpm; however the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 16.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 890 m, representing 48 % of the 1 872 m runway, and the aircraft was excessively misaligned by 112.5 m from the centreline during rollout.
Focus on improving centreline tracking during the flare and touchdown phases to reduce the 16 m offset, and maintain that alignment through rollout to avoid the 112 m deviation observed.
